# agentsec-pack

Installed with `pip install agentsec-pack`, the `agentsec` command measures what an AI agent could reach from inside its sandbox across the network, secrets, the host filesystem, privileges and the other processes on the machine. The sandbox sets the limit on damage because a prompt-injected or mistaken agent can do whatever its sandbox allows. A transcript shows what the agent did, and this tool measures what the sandbox would have let it do.

A small standard-library Python probe inside the sandbox opens credential files, connects to hosts and sockets, writes zero-byte marker files, and reports secret names and paths without values. Refused connections count as contained, and a control test checks whether refusals apply to the entire system call or one path. A scorer turns results into findings with fixed weights and a score from 0 to 100, where 0 means the probe reached nothing. The `--max-score` flag fails a CI build above a budget, `--baseline` fails when anything got worse than an accepted report, and both exit with code 2.

A second test class, verifier integrity, will check whether an agent passed CI by editing the tests. It is listed in [`docs/ROADMAP.md`](docs/ROADMAP.md) and is not built yet.

With the host root mounted read-only, the lightweight bubblewrap configuration `bwrap-ro-root` scores 71, worse than a standard Docker container at 59. A read-only root mount restricts file writes alone, so processes can still reach the Docker socket and read credential files in the home directory.

Credential files in the home directory and each agent's login file remained readable inside every tested agent sandbox that successfully started. Both tools document this access, since Codex describes its modes as able to read files and Claude Code lists reading credential files as its default. Applying the documented `sandbox.filesystem.denyRead` setting in Claude Code excluded those files, so its score fell from 41 to 26.

Two configurations that requested a sandbox executed without one and scored 100. In the absence of `socat`, Claude Code 2.1.266 executed commands outside the sandbox and returned exit code 0 with a warning message on `stderr`. Google's `agy` 1.4.12 invoked with `--sandbox` on stock Ubuntu failed to initialize its sandbox and produced no output regarding the failure. A `--max-score` gate on a real probe run catches both.

The `workspace-write` mode in Codex prevents an agent in a writable workspace from planting a git hook for later execution outside the sandbox. That mode grants write access to the working directory and keeps the `.git` and `.codex` paths inside it read-only, so the agent cannot write a hook there.

[`docs/MEASUREMENTS.md`](docs/MEASUREMENTS.md) has the full write-up for each measurement, with its capture command, environment and the vendor's documentation. The raw reports are in `examples/`.

## How to use this tool

### By hand

```bash
pip install agentsec-pack   # or, from a checkout: uv venv .venv && uv pip install -e '.[dev]'
agentsec presets            # which configurations this host can run right now
```

Hardening an image takes at least two measurements, one of the image as it runs today and one after applying the flags the report recommends.

```bash
# 1. what you run today
agentsec blast-radius docker myagent:latest --label as-i-run-it --print-findings

# 2. apply the flags the report recommends, keeping what your workload needs
agentsec blast-radius docker myagent:latest --label hardened --print-findings -- \
  --read-only --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges \
  --user 65534:65534 --tmpfs /tmp --pids-limit 256 --memory 512m

# 3. see what moved
agentsec compare reports/*.json
```

The hardening flags drop a stock `python:3.12-slim` image from 59 on the initial measurement to 15 on the second run. Passing the `--network none` flag with those hardening options in the command reduces the measurement to a score of 0. An agent must connect to its model provider to function, so a working agent usually stays above a score of 0. You should work toward the lowest score that still lets the workload run and record why each remaining finding stays open.

Three more commands cover a full comparison, a browser view and the CI gate.

```bash
agentsec matrix python:3.12-slim              # all eleven configurations, one table
agentsec ui --results reports/ --open         # the same results in a browser
agentsec blast-radius preset docker-hardened --image myagent:latest --max-score 15
```

Passing `--max-score 15` in that command establishes a CI gate by setting a budget on the measured sandbox score. Any scan whose total finishes above that budget causes `--max-score` to return exit code 2 to the build. Match that budget to the score you record after hardening the sandbox, so any later drift breaks the build.

A round number chosen in advance gives a hardened sandbox room to drift before the score gate trips. Budget checks fail a run only once the total crosses that ceiling, so drift beneath the limit passes. For example, a sandbox scoring 26 against a budget of 45 might add a writable host mount under `FS-003` worth 8 points and drop `no_new_privs` under `PRIV-005` worth 3 points. Those two changes bring the measured total score to 37, so the run still passes the budget check. The `--baseline` commands below fail when a run gets worse at any score by comparing it against an earlier accepted report.

```bash
agentsec blast-radius preset docker-hardened --image myagent:tag --label accepted   # once, then commit it
agentsec blast-radius preset docker-hardened --image myagent:tag --baseline reports/accepted.json
agentsec diff reports/accepted.json reports/latest.json    # when measuring and gating are separate steps
```

Both `--baseline` and `agentsec diff` exit with code 2 and list each finding that is new or rises in severity. The check also lists and fails on any existing finding whose evidence widens by one additional writable path, reachable host, or readable credential. Disappearing findings are marked as fixed alongside a prompt to record a fresh baseline, so the gate retains the improvement. New informational findings scored at 0 points appear as noted and let the check pass, unless the finding reports an unmeasured axis. Mismatched probe versions across the two runs make the tool report the difference and fail, because an added check can produce a new finding in an unchanged sandbox. Record the baseline with the same `--redact` setting that you use on the runs you compare against it.

GitHub Actions runs the same gate checks in one workflow step by installing `agentsec` from the action's own checkout, so the version pinned in the workflow is the version that measures.

```yaml
- uses: binary-knight/agentsec-pack@v0.2.0     # the first release that ships the action
  with:
    image: myagent:${{ github.sha }}
    preset: docker-hardened                    # or leave out and pass `flags:` instead
    max-score: 15                              # what you measured after hardening
    baseline: security/agentsec-accepted.json  # optional: fail on anything worse
```

The action fails the workflow job by returning the same exit code that `agentsec` produces on the command line. Every execution of the step records the measured score in the workflow job summary as well as in `steps.<id>.outputs.score`. Workflow runs upload the JSON, Markdown, and HTML report files as a workflow artifact including when a gate check fails. The inputs are listed in `action.yml`.

The `assert` command narrows the focus from a finding list to test whether a sandbox can reach specific paths. Each target path tested against the sandbox receives a pass or fail result from the command without a score.

```bash
# can the graded child read the answer key it is being marked against?
agentsec assert --kind docker --image grader:latest \
  --not-readable /answers/key.json --not-writable /results --readable /workspace/input \
  -- -v ./answers:/answers:ro
```

Any violated expectation causes the command to exit with code 2, so it works in builds or grading harnesses just like `--max-score`. Results from the command separate `absent` from `present, denied` into two distinct answers for every path it checks. An `absent` status means the sandbox lacks the target path, so that result continues to hold when someone adds a mount later. With `present, denied`, the path exists inside the sandbox under a rule that refuses it, so the result depends on that rule remaining in place.

An agent's own sandbox cannot be measured from the outside by wrapping it the way a container can, because the agent is already running inside that sandbox when it executes commands. Ask the agent to run `agentsec probe --label ... --how ...`, which in one step measures and scores the sandbox where that command executes. The guide in `docs/CAPTURING.md` explains the details, such as what to do when the package cannot be installed inside the sandbox and the result has to come back through the agent's reply.

### By pointing an agent at this repository

To hand this repository to an agent, clone it, point the agent at `AGENTS.md`, a brief written for an agent, and give it a prompt like this one:

> Read AGENTS.md in this repository and carry out Task A, then report what you
> found. Do not change any host settings.

Task A directs the agent to evaluate its own running sandbox, because a user cannot easily measure that environment on their own. When you name a target image, Task B instructs the agent to measure that image and harden it. In Task C, the agent adds the CI gate.

You should review `AGENTS.md` before passing it over. The brief stays under 100 lines and runs without `sudo`. Network traffic in the brief stops at installing this package, while writes stay inside the working directory and a temp path. Having an agent execute instructions from a file is the pattern this tool addresses, so that brief instructs the agent to treat any repository as data with no authority. The agent returns a score and the sealing status across the five axes along with whether findings were proven reachable or only seen. Both `--label` and `--how` are mandatory flags, so any number reported without an account of its capture came from outside the tool.

Every measurement run writes a machine-readable file to `reports/<label>.json` under `schema_version` 1 alongside a companion report at `reports/<label>.md`. That JSON output captures the specific image and flags from the run, so anyone can reproduce the resulting number. A generated report includes the sandbox hostname and working directory along with secret-looking environment variable names, so you should review it before publishing. Passing `--redact` strips those host and environment details while preserving every score and finding alongside the recorded flags. The reports in `examples/`, which this README cites, were made that way, and git ignores `reports/`.

## Seeing it

Two commands render the same page.

```bash
# a self-contained HTML file: keep it as a CI artifact, mail it, open it offline
agentsec report reports/ --out blast-radius.html

# a console on localhost, with the runs you have already saved loaded in
agentsec ui --results reports/ --open

# many runs as one color-coded chart, one row per run; name the output .md for a table
agentsec chart reports/ --out chart.svg
```

Both `agentsec report` and `agentsec ui` display an identical page where a top band spans the five axes that the probe evaluates. That band comes first because separating what is reachable from what is only visible is the purpose of the tool. Each axis reports Sealed if nothing appears, Visible but refused if the probe detects something inaccessible, Reachable if the probe makes contact, and Not measured if the probe fails to resolve it. An axis reports Not measured because an egress proxy demands a password that only `AGENTSEC_PROBE_PROXY_AUTH=1` lets the probe send, or because the probe cannot speak to the proxy, as with a SOCKS proxy. The score appears second on the page, because a number by itself leaves out the state of each axis. Provenance, the record of where and how the run was collected, occupies a dedicated panel on the page.

The console and the exported file always stay in sync because both commands build their output from a shared template. Local system fonts and inline CSS handle all styling directly, so the generated page avoids any CDN or network request. When any `src` or `href` attribute on the exported page references a location outside the local machine, a test fails.

The local console accepts requests only from this machine and runs only configurations shipped with the tool. Listening exclusively on `127.0.0.1`, the server generates a random token during initialization that every incoming API request must present. Request handling validates the `Host` header first, which prevents a malicious website from contacting the service through a domain pointed at the loopback address. HTTP responses from the console include a strict Content-Security-Policy header while omitting any CORS header from the reply. Execution is limited to configurations bundled in `presets.json` or to an engine and an image paired with flags recognized by the remediation map. Command templates are rejected by the console, a restriction that `tests/test_ui.py` checks to confirm that a browser cannot request one.

Passing `--bind` directs the console to listen on a different network address, which lets a browser on a separate machine open the interface. Any console bound to an address outside loopback operates in read-only mode unless you also pass `--allow-remote-runs` at launch. Reports are safe to expose on a network for remote browsers to read. Permitting a network to launch containers requires a separate, deliberate choice that you make when starting the server.

## Alongside a red-team run

Promptfoo evaluates how the agent behaves during an attack, and `agentsec` determines what the agent's sandbox allows a successful attack to access. The three commands below run both and join their output.

```bash
# 1. measure the sandbox
agentsec blast-radius preset docker-default --image youragent:tag --out reports
# 2. run your promptfoo suite with the containment row (examples/promptfoo/promptfooconfig.yaml)
AGENTSEC_REPORT=reports/docker-default_youragent_tag.json   npx promptfoo@0.122.2 eval -c promptfooconfig.yaml -o out.json
# 3. join them
agentsec combine --promptfoo out.json --sandbox reports/docker-default_youragent_tag.json   --deployed-in docker-default
```

The assertion records a `blast_radius` score inside promptfoo's `namedScores`. Because promptfoo invokes assertions once for every test row, this assertion loads a report that the probe generated earlier. Attach this assertion to one dedicated test row. Putting the assertion on `defaultTest` executes it across every row, which causes one permissive sandbox to fail the entire test suite over a single issue in the environment.

The `combine` command identifies the overlap by listing every OWASP agentic category where a failed test pairs with a corresponding finding from the sandbox. A local cache at `agentsec/data/promptfoo_plugin_asi.json` stores the category mapping published by promptfoo alongside the origin URL and the date of retrieval. When an entry uses a plugin identifier formatted like `owasp:agentic:asi05`, the command reads the category directly from that identifier.

Every run requires the `--deployed-in` flag as an assertion from the user that connects the two input files. The input files cannot verify whether the agent tested by promptfoo runs inside the measured sandbox, so the report places that assumption at the top as a condition for every conclusion. An example of the output is in `examples/promptfoo/combined_example.md`.

Automated tests verify this integration against a `promptfoo eval` run captured as a fixture on 2026-09-08 alongside an end-to-end check that invokes `npx promptfoo@0.122.2`. Because a live red-team run requires a target and credentials absent from this repository, the test for joining plugin identifiers uses only a manually authored fixture matching the promptfoo schema. In the output produced by a red-team evaluation, an entry with `success: false` signifies that the attack succeeded against the target.

## How it works

The probe script at `agentsec/probe/blast_probe.py` lives inside a single file with its dependencies limited to the Python standard library. Its runner either mounts that file read-only inside a container or invokes it via any command template capable of running `python3`, then collects a single line of JSON in return. Running the `agentsec probe` command spawns the script as a child of the active process inside that process's own environment. `agentsec/scoring.py` converts that JSON payload into findings at fixed severity levels that assign 25 points to critical, 15 to high, 8 to medium, 3 to low, and 0 to informational. Point totals add up to a maximum score of 100, where a result of 0 indicates that nothing was reached by the probe. Those severity weights remain constant, so anyone can recalculate the final score manually from the reported list of findings. Every finding corresponds to the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications (2026) through the category mappings and source records stored in `agentsec/data/owasp_asi_2026.json`.

## What the probe will not do

You should read through the probe before you execute it on any system that matters. The secret scan records only the names of environment variables that resemble secrets and the filesystem paths of credential files without ever reading their contents. Network checks resolve each address in a fixed list of hosts and open a connection that sends nothing before closing. The tool also asks any configured egress proxy for a tunnel to those same hosts and to `example.com`, a control host that no allowlist would have reason to include. Each proxy check logs only the returned status code and never starts TLS, so nothing ever reaches a target host. A proxy that requests a password receives it only when `AGENTSEC_PROBE_PROXY_AUTH=1` is set, with the password sent solely to that proxy. The probe never writes the password supplied for proxy authentication or the address of the proxy to its output.

Filesystem checks confirm that a file is readable by opening it and reading zero bytes, so no credential contents ever pass through the tool. The probe measures directory writability through its only disk writes by creating and immediately deleting one zero-byte marker file per probed directory, so those brief file operations can trigger file-integrity monitoring. Persistence checks test whether the agent could place anything persistent to run outside the sandbox by opening existing shell startup files, `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`, `~/.gitconfig`, and the agent's own settings files for appending. Each opened file is closed right away without writing a byte, so its content and modification time remain unchanged. The check opens only target files that already exist on disk, so a missing file is never created. A file watcher monitoring those paths will still observe each existing file being closed when the append test finishes. The test suite in `tests/test_probe.py` verifies the secret redaction and the fixed target list in addition to confirming that those files remain byte-for-byte unchanged.
