[OpenA2A](https://github.com/opena2a-org/opena2a): CLI · HackMyAgent · Secretless · OpenA2A AIM (Agent Identity Management) · Browser Guard · DVAA

Security scanner for AI agents: finds the shadow AI on a machine (every AI assistant, MCP server and agent project, worst first), scans agent projects and packages for credentials, risky MCP configs and prompt injection, grades SOUL.md governance, and generates red-team payloads. Apache 2.0.

Questions

What is the hackmyagent MCP server?

Metasploit for AI agents: scan, attack, and fix AI agents and MCP servers. Open source security toolkit.

What tools does hackmyagent expose?

17 in total: 16 read-only, 1 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is hackmyagent safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (23/100) and found 13 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What credentials does hackmyagent need?

It reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, API_KEY, ATC_TOKEN, CI_SCAN_HMAC_SECRET, GITHUB_TOKEN, HMA_COMMUNITY_SECRET, HMA_SCANNER_SIGNING_KEY, INTERNAL_API_KEY, OPENA2A_REGISTRY_TOKEN, OPENAI_API_KEY and REGISTRY_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does hackmyagent run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as hackmyagent-test-server at 1.0.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (27148979ed7b), read on 2026-10-11. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
