AgentShield

Give your AI a health check.

One scan. Thirteen engines. One report.

中文文档

You found an MCP Server / Skill / Plugin online and want to install it. But you're wondering:

Is this thing safe? Will it steal my API keys? Hijack my AI? Mine crypto?

AgentShield answers that in seconds. One command, 13 independent scanning engines, one clear report.

npx @elliotllliu/agent-shield scan ./that-thing-you-want-to-install

That's it. First run auto-installs all engines. After that, results come in seconds.

Why Trust It?

Because it's not one engine making the call. It's 13 independent scanning engines, each a specialist in their own domain. We bring them together:

Engine	What it's best at
📋 AgentShield (reference)	AI Agent basics — skill hijack, prompt injection, MCP runtime
🔍 Aguara	General security — 177 rules, data exfil, taint tracking
🔎 Semgrep	Code quality — 2000+ rules, injection, XSS, hardcoded secrets
🧪 Invariant	MCP-specific — tool poisoning, cross-origin escalation, rug pull
🔬 Trivy	Vulnerability scan + secret detection + SBOM
🔑 Gitleaks	Secret and token leak detection
🐍 Bandit	Python code security
📡 Bearer	Data flow + privacy analysis
🐕 TruffleHog	Secret detection + verification if active
🌐 OSV-Scanner	Dependency vulnerabilities (Google OSV database)
🦑 Grype	Dependency vulnerability scanning
🟢 njsscan	Node.js / JavaScript security
🔐 detect-secrets	Secret detection (Yelp)

Each engine has its own strengths. We combine all of them into one report.

The built-in engine is reference-only — the overall conclusion is decided by the 7 external engines' consensus. The stronger they get, the stronger we get.

First Run

First time you run it, engines are auto-installed (to ~/.agentshield/, no sudo needed):

🔧 检查引擎...
  ✅ AgentShield — 已就绪
  📦 Aguara — 正在安装... 完成
  📦 Semgrep — 正在安装... 完成
  📦 Invariant — 正在安装... 完成
  📦 Trivy — 正在安装... 完成
  📦 Gitleaks — 正在安装... 完成
  📦 Bandit — 正在安装... 完成
  📦 Bearer — 正在安装... 完成

One-time setup. After that, it's instant.

What Can It Detect?

Risk	What it means
🔴 Skill Hijack	It's secretly modifying your AI's config
🔴 Backdoor	It can silently execute arbitrary code
🔴 Remote Control	It's connecting to external servers + opening a shell
⚠️ Data Theft	It reads your keys/files and sends them out
⚠️ Prompt Injection	It's secretly adding instructions to your AI
⚠️ Tool Poisoning	Hidden malicious instructions in tool descriptions
⚠️ Obfuscated Code	Code is intentionally unreadable — might be hiding something
⚠️ Vulnerabilities	Known CVEs in dependencies
⚠️ Secret Leaks	API keys, tokens, passwords in source code
ℹ️ Excessive Permissions	It asks for more than it needs

Our Philosophy

"We don't compete — we aggregate."

We bring every engine's strengths together, cross-validate their findings, and produce one unified report. The stronger each engine gets, the stronger AgentShield gets.

We're the X-ray machine, not the doctor. We show you what's inside — you decide whether to install it.
