Readme
PM AID
AI agent defense scanner. 73 JS-native modules across prompt injection, secret exposure, supply chain, OSINT, vault hardening, and the AI-agent-runtime surface. Self-hosted. Offline-verified license. One-time ownership.
Install
npm install -g pm-aidRequires Node 20 or newer. Compiles a native SQLite binding on first install -- expect a few seconds for the build.
Activate
After purchase you receive a license key in the form
PMAID.v1.<payload>.<signature>. Bind it to your machine:
pm-aid license activate PMAID.v1.eyJ...The license binds to the machine fingerprint on first activation. Verification is fully offline -- no network calls, no phone-home.
Confirm:
pm-aid license statusRun a scan
pm-aid scan --profile quick
pm-aid scan --profile half-deep --target /path/to/project
pm-aid scan --modules prompt-injection,secret-exposureAvailable profiles:
quick-- 15 high-signal modules. ~60-120s. Good for CI hooks.osint-light-- 10 public-API modules. Footprint-only, no auth required.half-deep-- full surface, all 73 modules.
Results go to ~/.pm-aid/reports/ as markdown. Findings persist to
~/.pm-aid/findings.db for regression tracking across scans.
Exit codes
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Clean -- no findings |
| 1 | Findings present, no critical |

The scan engine is exported for direct use from Node:
import {
runScan,
loadScope,
type ScanConfig,
type Finding,
} from 'pm-aid';
const scope = loadScope({ target: '/path/to/project' });
const config: ScanConfig = {
modules: ['prompt-injection', 'secret-exposure'],
targets: scope,
dryRun: false,
verbose: false,
};
const { results, scanId, reportPath } = await runScan(scope, config);
const allFindings: Finding[] = results.flatMap((r) => r.findings);The license gate lives in the CLI -- the engine itself does not gate.
Embedders are expected to validate the license themselves via
validateLicense(key) and activateLicense(db, key) from the same
package.

Privacy
PM AID never phones home. No telemetry. No license-server check.
The scan engine reads only what you scope it to, persists findings
locally to ~/.pm-aid/, and writes markdown reports for you to
review or commit.
