Autonomous security agent that scans, verifies, fixes vulnerabilities and generates reports.

Project description

SecAgent AI

Autonomous AI Security Agent — scan, verify, and auto-fix security vulnerabilities in your codebase using xAI Grok.

pip install secagent-ai

What is SecAgent?

SecAgent is a CLI tool that acts as an autonomous security engineer. Point it at a file or directory and it will:

  • Scan for secrets, vulnerabilities, and insecure code patterns
  • Verify each finding with AI to eliminate false positives
  • Fix real vulnerabilities by generating and applying secure patches
  • Report everything in a readable Markdown report with cost tracking

All AI reasoning is powered by xAI Grok.


Installation

Requirements: Python 3.11+

pip install secagent-ai

On first run, SecAgent will walk you through a one-time setup to save your Grok API key:

secagent scan ./myproject
╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗
║           S E C A G E N T  AI            ║
║    Autonomous AI Security Agent v0.1.0   ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════╝
──────────────── First-Time Setup ─────────

Welcome to SecAgent!
To get started, enter your xAI Grok API key.
Get one at: https://console.x.ai/

Grok API Key: ********************************
Setup complete! Config saved to: C:\Users\you\.secagent\config.json

Your key is saved locally and never sent anywhere except the xAI API.


Usage

Scan a file or directory

secagent scan ./myproject
secagent scan ./app/auth.py

Scans for vulnerabilities and saves results. Does not modify any files.

Scan and auto-fix

secagent fix ./myproject
secagent fix ./app/auth.py

Verifies findings, generates patches, applies fixes, and writes a fix.md report.

Re-configure your API key

secagent configure

Check version

secagent version

Verbose mode

secagent scan ./myproject --verbose
secagent fix ./myproject --verbose

Optional Tools

SecAgent works out of the box with its built-in scanners. Installing these tools unlocks additional scanning capabilities:

Tool Purpose Install
Gitleaks Secret & credential scanning brew install gitleaks
Trivy Dependency vulnerability scanning brew install trivy

SecAgent degrades gracefully — if a tool isn't installed, it's skipped automatically. The built-in scanner and AI scanner always run regardless.


How It Works

SecAgent runs a 9-stage pipeline:

Stage 1  │ Planner Agent    │ Analyzes your codebase, selects the right scanners
Stage 2  │ Scanner Executor │ Runs all selected scanners in parallel
Stage 3  │ Result Parser    │ Normalizes findings into a unified format
Stage 4  │ Deduplicator     │ Merges duplicate findings across scanners
Stage 5  │ Verifier Agent   │ AI classifies True Positive vs False Positive
Stage 6  │ Fixer Agent      │ AI generates a secure patch for each real finding
Stage 7  │ Validator Agent  │ AI confirms the patch is correct and safe
Stage 8  │ Patch Applier    │ Applies the patch to your file (with backup)
Stage 9  │ Report Builder   │ Generates fix.md + token usage cost report

All AI stages use xAI Grok. Stages 1, 5 use the fast non-reasoning model. Stages 6, 7 use the reasoning model for higher accuracy.


Output

After a fix run, SecAgent creates:

  • fix.md — full report of findings, verification results, patches applied, and skipped fixes
  • .secagent/logs/cost.md — token usage and estimated API cost per stage
  • .secagent/data/*.vulns.json — cached scan results (reused on subsequent fix runs)

Configuration

Your API key and model settings are stored at:

Platform Path
Windows C:\Users\<you>\.secagent\config.json
Linux / Mac ~/.secagent/config.json

To update your key at any time:

secagent configure
