Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

Evidence-backed AppSec for AI applications and agents.

Powered by HAIEC.

Audit AI code for security risks before you commit, push, merge, or deploy.

What AI AppSec Does

AI AppSec produces deterministic, reproducible static security evidence for AI-agent and AI-application source code. It uses Semgrep 1.173.0 as its execution engine with a bundled Public Core rulepack (122 detectors, 79 security checks).

Key properties:

  • Static analysis only — does not execute target code
  • No network required for normal scans (Semgrep setup may require network)
  • No HAIEC account or API key required
  • Deterministic evidence — Scan Receipts with SHA-256 digests
  • Fail-closed digests — rulepack/manifest verified at runtime
  • Proof-of-fix — rescan comparison with check-evaluation safety

Quick Start

# Install
npm install -g ai-appsec

# Check Semgrep status
ai-appsec doctor

# Install Semgrep engine (requires network)
ai-appsec setup

# Start MCP server (stdio transport)
ai-appsec

Or use via npx without global install:

npx ai-appsec doctor
npx ai-appsec setup
Prerelease channel: @next tracks upcoming prereleases (e.g. ai-appsec@next).

When to Use It

Use scan_ai_security when a developer asks to:

  • "check this for security issues"
  • "audit this task before I push"
  • "review this change for security problems"
  • "scan this AI agent" or "scan this AI app"
  • "check my LLM application"
  • "security review this PR"
  • "is this safe to merge"
  • "check this before deployment"
  • "audit this code for vulnerabilities"
  • "run a security scan"
  • "check for security risks before commit"

scanaisecurity

The MCP tool scan_ai_security is the only tool implemented in v0.1.

It scans AI/LLM/agent application source code for security risks including:

  • Unsafe AI-output execution
  • Secrets exposure
  • RAG/model integration risks
  • Insecure AI API usage
  • Control gaps
  • Prompt/input-

Questions

What is the ai-appsec MCP server?

Evidence-backed AppSec for AI applications and agents. Powered by HAIEC.

What tools does ai-appsec expose?

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

Is ai-appsec safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (50/100) and found 8 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 ai-appsec need?

It reads OPENAI_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 ai-appsec run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as ai-appsec at 0.1.1.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (da4fdffd7f8c), read on 2026-10-12. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
