Security Report

4.2
Use Caution4.2High Risk

This is a security-focused MCP server with well-designed tools for detecting prompt injection, secrets, and misconfigurations. The server itself is implemented cleanly with proper input validation via Zod schemas. However, the lack of authentication on tool endpoints and a minor information disclosure risk in error handling lower the score slightly. Overall appropriate for its stated purpose. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

Agent Security MCP Server

Security scanning, prompt injection detection, secret leak detection, and agent permission auditing for AI agent workflows. Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Tools

ToolDescription
scan_mcp_configScan MCP server configurations for security issues (dangerous commands, exposed secrets, network exposure, container misconfigs)
detect_prompt_injectionAnalyze text for prompt injection attempts across 7 attack categories with context-aware risk scoring
validate_scope_contractCheck if agent actions comply with scope contracts (tool allowlists, file access, boundary constraints)
scan_secretsDetect leaked API keys, tokens, private keys, database URIs, and credentials in text or code
audit_agent_permissionsAudit agent configurations against role-based expectations and flag principle of least privilege violations
generate_security_reportGenerate comprehensive security assessment reports with prioritized remediation plans
detect_tool_poisoningAnalyze MCP tool definitions for hidden instructions that could manipulate agent behavior (OWASP Agentic Top 10)

Detection Coverage

Prompt Injection (7 categories, 20+ patterns)

  • Instruction Override -- "ignore previous instructions", "disregard all rules", "new instructions:"
  • Identity Manipulation -- "you are now", "pretend you are", "act as", DAN/jailbreak
  • System Prompt Extraction -- "repeat your system prompt", "show your instructions"
  • Data Exfiltration -- "send this to", "post to webhook", "email everything to"
  • Delimiter Attacks -- ```system, [INST], <|im_start|>system, XML tag injection
  • Encoded Injection -- Base64 payloads, unicode zero-width characters, hex escapes
  • Privilege Escalation -- "sudo mode", "disable safety", "bypass filters"

Secret Detection (25+ patterns)

  • AI Provider Keys -- OpenAI (sk-), Anthropic (sk-ant-)
  • Cloud Credentials -- AWS (AKIA*), GCP (AIza*), Azure connection strings
  • Source Control -- GitHub PATs (ghp_, github_pat_), OAuth tokens (gho_*)
  • Payment -- Stripe live/test keys (sk_live_, sk_test_)
  • Communication -- Slack tokens/webhooks, Telegram bot tokens
  • Database -- PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis connection URIs
  • Cryptographic -- RSA/EC/OpenSSH private keys, generic PEM blocks
  • JWT -- JSON Web Tokens
  • Generic -- api_key=, secret=, password=, .env file patterns

Permission Audit (6 role profiles)

  • Researcher -- Read + search + web only
  • Analyst -- Read + search only
  • Developer -- Read + write + execute
  • Reviewer -- Read only, no network
  • Orchestrator -- Read + write + task spawning
  • Monitor -- Read only, no network, no write
