# Snyk Agent Scan by [Snyk](/organizations/snyk/) - **ID:** `50f67f53-f419-4967-8b61-34159bb48af0` - **JSON API:** /api/v1/catalog/products/50f67f53-f419-4967-8b61-34159bb48af0/ - **Slug:** snyk-agent-scan - **Product website:** https://github.com/snyk/agent-scan - **Organization website:** https://snyk.io - **Categories:** [Developer Tools](/categories/developer-tools/), [LLM Security & Guardrails](/categories/llm-security-guardrails/) ## Description An open-source security scanner for AI agents, MCP servers, and agent skills that auto-discovers local agent configs, connects to MCP servers to fetch tool descriptions, and scans for risks including prompt injection, tool poisoning, and hardcoded secrets. ## AI-native score: Unrated Research coverage is 38/100. An AI-native grade requires 40/100. The provisional breakdown below shows the AI-native signals recorded so far. The AI-native score measures agent-readiness and is not a substitute for your own security or vendor-risk review. See [methodology](/methodology/) for how coverage and the grade are computed. | Component | Applies | Raw | Effective weight | Nominal weight | Contribution | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Integration | Yes | 3/10 | 35% | 35% | 10.5 | | Trust | Yes | 1/6 | 30% | 30% | 5.0 | | Portability | Yes | 4/4 | 20% | 20% | 20.0 | | Security | Yes | 0/4 | 15% | 15% | 0.0 | - **Integration signals:** Command-line interface (+1); SDK / developer kit (+1); Agent skill (+1) - **Trust signals:** Verified trust center (+1) - **Portability signals:** Open standards (+1); No proprietary-SDK lock-in (+1); Self-hostable (+1); Open source (+1) ## Trust & Data Policy - **Trust center:** [Vendor trust center]() - **WebMCP:** – No - **Open standards:** ✓ Yes - **No proprietary-SDK lock-in:** ✓ Yes - **Self-hostable:** ✓ Yes - **Open source:** ✓ Yes - **Not yet researched:** llms.txt, Headless signup, Multi-factor authentication, Zero data retention, No generative AI training, Hard budget caps, Sandbox environment, Data export, Data import, Standard protocol access, Documented provider swap - **Source code:** https://github.com/snyk/agent-scan ## Confirmed absences These decision fields were researched and confirmed absent — not available based on current evidence, until contrary information supersedes the finding. Each carries the check performed, the page checked, and the date, so you can act on the negative without repeating the research. A label-scoped absence applies only to its label (e.g. no SOC 2 does not mean no certifications). - **A2A servers** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-13. Checked the product developer documentation and integration overview for an Agent2Agent protocol server or Agent Card; none is documented on this page. Source: https://github.com/snyk/agent-scan - **Web-MCP** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-13. Checked the product developer documentation and integration overview for browser WebMCP tool registration or modelContext integration; none is documented on this page.
