agent-scan
Security scanner for AI agents, MCP servers and agent skills.
Runs with mockssource: GitHubPythonApache-2.0commit 2527530b842e
Python, Apache-2.0 licensed. The project labels itself: agent, ai, mcp, modelcontextprotocol and security.
agent-scan runs, with stand-ins for the services it depends on. An Argusic agent installed it in 1 minute and hit 1 error and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
Project installs with `uv sync`, CLI prints help and version, and the full test suite passes 2293/2326 collected tests.
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 92 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).

What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.
What went wrong, in the agent's own words
The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.
- 20 tests failing (8 unit, 12 e2e): SnykTokenError: SNYK_TOKEN environment variable not set5 minutes
- Install time
- 1 minutes
- Cold machine to finish
- 34 minutes
- Errors hit and fixed
- 1 hit, 1 fixed with no human help
- How the result was proved
- pytest exit 0 after fixing 20 SNYK_TOKEN-related failures: 2293 passed, 33 skipped, 0 failed

What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load
- Behaviour against real services
- this run was verified against stand-in services only
The end of the recording
The last lines of the terminal session that decided this verdict, exactly as they were recorded.
Now let me put together the final result. exec /bin/sh -lc 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" && cd /work/repo && echo "=== Test counts ===" &&… succeeded in 105679ms: === Test counts === TOTAL 6584 623 91% Coverage HTML written to dir htmlcov 2293 passed, 33 skipped, 66 deselected, 87 warnings in 104.36s (0:01:44) All 2293 tests pass with 0 failures.

Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.
How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Installed in 1 minute, faster than the median of the 63 comparable projects Argusic has measured.
- Recovered from all 1 error without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
- Licensed Apache-2.0, as reported by its host.
What did not, or is not known
- Only reached a running state against stand-in services, so nothing here proves it works against the real ones.
- Measured once so far. A single attempt shows it can run, not that it runs reliably.
Of the 64 agent projects Argusic has installed and timed, agent-scan was the 7th fastest to reach a running state, and 43 of 64 reached one at all.
Also tested, in the same area
Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/agent-scan)Questions
- Does agent-scan run?
- agent-scan runs, with mocks standing in for external services. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 1 minutes, hitting 1 error on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test agent-scan?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 2527530b842e. One attempt is recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test agent-scan?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.20: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does agent-scan take to install?
- 1 minute in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does agent-scan need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing agent-scan?
- 1 thing broke in the recorded run, and 1 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.
- How does agent-scan compare with the alternatives?
- Of the 64 agent projects Argusic has installed and timed, agent-scan was the 7th fastest to reach a running state, and 43 of 64 reached one at all.
- Where is the evidence for agent-scan?
- The recorded run is on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
