This list is organized by the **security lifecycle** of an autonomous agent, covering red teaming, runtime protection, sandboxing, and governance. ## 📖 Table of Contents - [Agent Firewalls & Gateways (Runtime Protection)](#-agent-firewalls--gateways-runtime-protection) - [Red Teaming & Vulnerability Scanners](#-red-teaming--vulnerability-scanners) - [Static Analysis & Linters](#-static-analysis--linters) - [Sandboxing & Isolation Environments](#-sandboxing--isolation-environments) - [Guardrails & Compliance](#-guardrails--compliance) - [Benchmarks & Datasets](#-benchmarks--datasets) - [Identity & Authentication](#-identity--authentication) - [Contributing](#-contributing) --- ## 🛡️ Agent Firewalls & Gateways (Runtime Protection) *Tools that sit between the agent and the world to filter traffic, prevent unauthorized tool access, and block prompt injections.* - **[AgentGateway](https://github.com/agentgateway/agentgateway)** - A Linux Foundation project providing an AI-native proxy for secure connectivity (A2A & MCP protocols). It adds RBAC, observability, and policy enforcement to agent-tool interactions. - **[Envoy AI Gateway](https://gateway.envoyproxy.io/)** - An Envoy-based gateway that manages request traffic to GenAI services, providing a control point for rate limiting and policy enforcement. - **[Immunity Agent](https://github.com/PrismorSec/immunity-agent)** - Security-focused AI agent runtime for scanning prompt injection, MCP risks, unsafe package installs, and dangerous agent actions before execution. ## ⚔️ Red Teaming & Vulnerability Scanners *Offensive tools to test agents for security flaws, loop conditions, and unauthorized actions.* - **[Strix](https://github.com/usestrix/strix)** - An autonomous AI agent designed for penetration testing. It runs inside a docker sandbox to actively probe applications and generate verified exploit capabilities. - **[PyRIT](https://github.com/Azure/PyRIT)** - Microsoft's open-source red teaming framework for generative AI. It automates multi-turn adversarial attacks to test if an agent can be coerced into harmful behavior. - **[Agentic Security](https://github.com/msoedov/agentic_security)** - A dedicated vulnerability scanner for agent workflows and LLMs capable of running multi-step jailbreaks and fuzzing attacks against agent logic. - **[Garak](https://github.com/leondz/garak)** - The "Nmap for LLMs." A vulnerability scanner that probes models for hallucination, data leakage, and prompt injection susceptibilities. - **[A2A Scanner](https://github.com/cisco-ai-defense/a2a-scanner)** - A scanner by Cisco designed to inspect "Agent-to-Agent" communication protocols for threats, validating agent identities and ensuring compliance with communication specs. - **[Cybersecurity AI (CAI)](https://github.com/aliasrobotics/cai)** - A framework for building specialized security agents for offensive and defensive operations, often used in CTF (Capture The Flag) scenarios. ## 🔍 Static Analysis & Linters *Tools to analyze agent configuration and logic code before deployment.* - **[Aguara](https://github.com/garagon/aguara)** - A static security scanner for AI agent skills and MCP server configurations. Detects prompt injection, credential leaks, data exfiltration, and supply-chain attacks with 173 built-in rules, 4 analysis layers, and remediation guidance. - **[Agentic Radar](https://github.com/splx-ai/agentic-radar)** - A static analysis tool that visualizes agent workflows (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen). It detects risky tool usage, permission loops, and maps them to known vulnerabilities. - **[Agent Bound](https://github.com/ElPaisano/agent-bound)** - A design-time analysis tool that calculates "Agentic Entropy"—a metric to quantify the unpredictability and risk of infinite loops or unconstrained actions in agent architectures. - **[Checkov](https ``` --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/tools/projectrecon-awesome-ai-agents-security`](/api/graphcanon/tools/projectrecon-awesome-ai-agents-security) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
