HackMyAgent
Find it. Break it. Fix it.
AI agents execute arbitrary code with your permissions. HackMyAgent finds what can go wrong before an attacker does.
Security scanner and red-team toolkit for AI agents. 147 security checks across 30 categories, 55 adversarial attack payloads, auto-fix with rollback, and OASB-1 compliance benchmarking -- all in a single package.
Scans Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and any MCP server setup.

Quick Start
npx hackmyagent secure # 147-check security scan
npx hackmyagent secure --fix # auto-fix issues (backups created automatically)
npx hackmyagent attack --local # red-team with 55 adversarial payloads
npx hackmyagent secure -b oasb-1 # OASB-1 compliance benchmarkNo config files. No setup. Works out of the box on any AI agent project.
What It Scans
| Platform | What HackMyAgent detects |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | CLAUDE.md misconfigurations, skill permissions, MCP server exposure |
| Cursor | .cursor/ rules, MCP server configs, overly permissive settings |
| VS Code | .vscode/mcp.json configurations, extension risks |
| Any MCP setup | Transport security, tool boundaries, auth weaknesses |
All platforms are scanned automatically — no flags needed.

Scoring: A (90-100), B (80-89), C (70-79), D (60-69), F (<60).
Only scan systems you own or have written authorization to test.
hackmyagent rollback
Undo auto-fix changes. Backups are created automatically by secure --fix and fix-all.
hackmyagent rollback # rollback current directory
hackmyagent rollback ./my-project # rollback specific directoryhackmyagent secure-openclaw
47 specialized checks for OpenClaw/Moltbot installations.
hackmyagent secure-openclaw # scan default location
hackmyagent secure-openclaw ~/.moltbot # specific directory
hackmyagent secure-openclaw --fix # auto-fix gateway configs

Subpath Exports
For programmatic use, the package exposes subpath exports:

import { SemanticEngine } from 'hackmyagent/semantic'; // Semantic analysis
import { ARPMonitor } from 'hackmyagent/arp'; // Runtime protection
import { OASBHarness } from 'hackmyagent/oasb'; // Benchmark harnessWriting Plugins
HackMyAgent supports custom security plugins. Each plugin implements scan() and fix() methods.
import type { OpenA2APlugin, Finding, Remediation, FixOptions } from 'hackmyagent/plugins';
export class MyPlugin implements OpenA2APlugin {
readonly metadata = {
packageName: '@my-org/my-plugin',
