Heron

Heron gives a signed, 0–100 trust score for what an AI agent actually runs — the skills it installs, the MCP servers it connects to, and the agent itself under red-team. Every scan is free, every result is wallet-signed (EIP-191), and the scoring methodology is public.

A SKILL.md is an unsigned binary: you install it and your agent runs whatever it says. An MCP server's tool names and descriptions are injected straight into your context, so your agent will obey instructions hidden there ("tool poisoning"). Almost none of it is checked before it runs. Heron checks it.

• Remote MCP endpoint: https://heronapp.io/mcp
• In the official MCP registry as io.heronapp/heron

Add it (no key, no payment)

Remote server — one line, nothing to install:

claude mcp add --transport http heron https://heronapp.io/mcp

Or add it to any MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "heron": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://heronapp.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Prefer to run it locally (stdio)? It's a thin client over the public API:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python heron_mcp.py

Tools

Security (the core):

Tool	What it answers
heron_skill_scan	Is this SKILL.md safe to run before I install it?
heron_mcp_scan	Is this MCP server safe to connect before I add it?
heron_agent_redteam	How injection-resilient is this agent's system prompt?
heron_inspect	Inspect untrusted text (user msg, tool output, RAG doc, email) at runtime — allow/flag/block before your agent trusts it
heron_agent_posture	One signed 0-100 security posture for a whole agent — its system prompt, skills, and MCP servers, combined with a weakest-link rule
heron_token_scan	Is a token contract safe to buy/approve/interact with? On-chain + verified-source scan: owner mint/pause/blacklist powers, changeable fees, upgradeability, honeypot patterns
heron_agent_identity	An agent's wallet-signed passport + portable attestations
heron_trust_index	The public index of already-scanned skills
heron_verify_attestation	Verify a Heron signature yourself (EIP-191) — no trust required
heron_methodology	The open scoring rules, weights and formula

Each scan returns a 0–100 score, a verdict (trusted / caution / dangerous), the specific findings (remote code execution, secret/credential access, data exfiltration, tool poisoning, prompt-injection, obfuscated payloads — Morse, base64, invisible Unicode, homoglyphs), and a wallet-signed attestation anyone can verify.

Why signed, and why open

A signature proves integrity, not correctness — it proves Heron's wallet scored this exact input, and nobody altered the result. Correctness comes from the method being public and auditable. So both are open: read the methodology, verify the signature, and don't trust a score you can't check.

Reputation is built from real, signed results an agent binds to its identity — not a popularity contest, which is gameable.
