What it is

agent-bom scans repositories, images, and cloud accounts, then correlates what it finds into one Finding + UnifiedGraph model — powering CLI and CI artifacts, fleet and browser investigations, compliance evidence, and runtime policy. Run the scanner without an account, or deploy the control plane inside your own cloud, VPC, cluster, database, identity, and audit boundary.

Graph provenance stays explicit: collected, inferred, static, and runtime relationships remain distinct, and unavailable evidence is never upgraded to observed.

Control-plane architecture

Sources, evidence engine, control plane, API, MCP, and operator surfaces in the self-hosted agent-bom architecture

Who it is for

Developer, AppSec, platform, GRC, and AI or MCP owner workflows on the shared evidence model

AppSec and GRC remain separate workflows: findings and reachability are not presented as audit certification. See product boundaries.

Product gallery

The gallery uses deterministic sample data, visibly labeled in the UI. It is product-state proof, not customer or advisory evidence.

Capture protocol

Quick start

Run against the repository in your current directory:

pip install agent-bom
agent-bom scan .

The console shows inventory, findings, and reachable impact. Save an artifact with agent-bom scan . -f sarif -o findings.sarif, or follow the first-run guide for exit codes, formats, and CI use.

Try without a repository

Use the curated, explicitly synthetic sample when you only want to inspect the output shape:

agent-bom scan --demo --offline

The sample intentionally contains blocking findings, so exit status 1 is expected.

Self-host

Start the loopback control plane:

pip install 'agent-bom[ui]'
agent-bom serve

For a shared deployment, use the documented Docker or Helm path and configure real identity, TLS, PostgreSQL, encryption, and audit keys before exposing it.

MCP server mode exposes 77 MCP tools, 6 resources, and 8 workflow prompts, all read-first: discovery and analysis never mutate a scanned target.

The CLI, Docker, API, Helm chart, MCP server, gateway, and SDK are distribution surfaces of the same product. The Snowflake SPCS / Native App lane runs inside the customer's Snowflake account; it is a customer-owned deployment target, not an agent-bom-hosted service. Snowflake and Snowpark also remain connector and runtime integrations for the other deployment profiles.

Trust

  • Read-only discovery by default; runtime write decisions are separate and explicit.
  • Credentials are write-only where stored, encrypted at rest, and never returned by API responses.
  • API and control-plane routes are tenant scoped and auth protected outside explicit local mode.
  • Missing evidence is shown as unavailable or partial, never converted into a factual zero.
  • Public examples and screenshots use deterministic synthetic identifiers only.
