AgentGuard

Autonomous security scanner for AI agents. Detects prompt injection, tool abuse, data exfiltration, and OWASP ASI Top 10 vulnerabilities in agent code.

---

Why AgentGuard?

AI agents are being deployed at scale -- in coding tools, customer support, trading bots, and autonomous systems. Nobody is scanning their code for security vulnerabilities.

Existing tools (Bandit, Semgrep, CodeQL) scan for traditional vulnerabilities. AgentGuard scans for agent-specific attack vectors that traditional SAST tools miss.

Quick Start

pip install dfx-agentguard

# Scan a directory
agentguard .

# JSON output for CI/CD
agentguard src/ --format json

# SARIF for GitHub Code Scanning
agentguard . --format sarif > results.sarif

# Only show HIGH and above
agentguard . --min-severity HIGH

# Include test files in scan
agentguard . --include-tests

CLI Usage

Options:
  --format [text|json|sarif]   Output format (default: text)

CI/CD Integration

GitHub Action

name: Security Scan
on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  agentguard:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: '3.12'
      - run: pip install dfx-agentguard
      - run: agentguard . --format sarif > results.sarif
      - uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v3
        with:
          sarif_file: results.sarif

Drop-in GitHub Action

- uses: dockfixlabs/agentguard@v0.4.0
  with:
    path: src/
    format: sarif

Pre-commit Hook

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/dockfixlabs/agentguard
    rev: v0.4.0
    hooks:
      - id: agentguard
        args: ["--min-severity", "HIGH"]

Programmatic Usage

from agentguard.scanner import scan_directory

result = scan_directory("src/")

print(f"Found {len(result.findings)} issues")
print(f"Critical: {result.critical_count}")
print(f"High: {result.high_count}")

for finding in result.findings:
    print(f"  [{finding.severity}] {finding.rule_name} at {finding.file}:{finding.line}")

MCP Server Mode

Scan agent code directly from Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentguard": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["-m", "agentguard.mcp_server"]
    }
  }
}

Then ask Claude: "Scan my agent code for security vulnerabilities"

Benchmark Results

Tested against 28 vulnerable code samples + 8 real-world attack patterns:

Category      Total   Detected     Rate    FP
ASI01             6          6     100%     0

TOTAL            28         26    100%     0

100% detection rate, 0% false positives.
