agent-bom-scan — AI Supply Chain Vulnerability Scanner

Checks packages for CVEs, scans container images natively, verifies package provenance via Sigstore, scans filesystems, and generates SBOMs.

Install

pipx install agent-bom
agent-bom agents             # discover agents and scan dependencies
agent-bom check langchain==0.1.0  # check a specific package with version
agent-bom image nginx:1.25   # scan container image (native)
agent-bom fs .               # scan filesystem packages
agent-bom sbom .             # generate SBOM
agent-bom verify agent-bom   # verify Sigstore provenance
agent-bom where              # show all discovery paths

As an MCP Server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agent-bom": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["agent-bom", "mcp", "server"]
    }
  }
}

When to Use

  • "check package" / "is this package safe"
  • "scan image" / "scan container"
  • "verify" / "check provenance"
  • "is this safe" / "CVE lookup"
  • "scan dependencies"
  • "blast radius"
  • "generate SBOM"

Tools (8)

Tool Description
check Check a package for CVEs (OSV, NVD, EPSS, KEV)
scan Full discovery + vulnerability scan pipeline
blast_radius Map CVE impact chain across agents, servers, credentials
remediate Prioritized remediation plan for vulnerabilities
verify Package integrity + SLSA provenance check
diff Compare two scan reports (new/resolved/persistent)
where Show MCP client config discovery paths
inventory List discovered agents, servers, packages

Examples

# Check a package before installing
check(package="langchain", version="0.1.0", ecosystem="pypi")

# Map blast radius of a CVE
blast_radius(cve_id="CVE-2024-21538")

# Full scan
scan()

# Verify package provenance
verify(package="agent-bom")

Agentic Workflows

Use tool chains, not isolated calls, when the user asks for a decision:

User intent Recommended sequence Output
"Is this MCP safe to install?" registry_lookup -> check -> blast_radius when a package/version is known concise allow/warn/block recommendation with evidence
"Gate this PR" scan with SARIF output and fail on high/critical findings SARIF for code scanning plus non-zero gate result
"Audit my fleet inventory" validate inventory -> scan/agents with JSON output -> context_graph findings plus graph-ready JSON
"What changed since last run?" current scan -> diff against prior JSON new/resolved/persistent findings
"What should I fix first?" scan -> blast_radius -> remediate plan prioritized plan only; no file writes

Pick output by consumer: SARIF for CI, JSON for automation/graph, HTML or Markdown for human review, CycloneDX/SPDX for SBOM consumers.

For CLI gates, prefer:

agent-bom agents --format sarif --output agent-bom.sarif --fail-on-severity high

Guardrails

  • Show CVEs even when NVD analysis is pending or severity is unknown — a CVE ID is still a real finding.
  • Treat UNKNOWN severity as unresolved, not benign — it means data is not yet available.
  • Do not modify any files, install packages, or change system configuration.
  • Only public package names and CVE IDs leave the machine for vulnerability database lookups.
  • Ask before scanning paths outside the user's home directory.

Privacy & Data Handling

# Step 1: Install
pip install agent-bom

# Step 2: Review redaction logic BEFORE scanning
# sanitize_env_vars() replaces ALL env var values with ***REDACTED***
# BEFORE any config data is processed or stored:
# https://github.com/msaad00/agent-bom/blob/main/src/agent_bom/security.py#L159

# Step 3: Verify package provenance (Sigstore)
agent-bom verify agent-bom

# Step 4: Only then run scans
agent-bom agents

Verification

  • Source: github.com/msaad00/agent-bom (Apache-2.0)
  • Sigstore signed: agent-bom verify agent-bom@0.89.2
  • 7,100+ tests with CodeQL + OpenSSF Scorecard
  • No telemetry: Zero tracking, zero analytics
