SafeAI: An Open-Source Static Analyzer for AI Agent Risks and Capabilities

IkarusCareer · reddit · 2026-08-01

A developer introduced SafeAI, an Apache-2.0 licensed static analyzer designed to help teams quickly assess AI agent risks and capabilities before merging or deployment.

Featuring a local-first KYA (Know Your Agent) workflow, the tool generates a versioned safeai-manifest.json artifact. It statically extracts declared capabilities, bound tools, MCP configurations, secrets, and governance signals. It also supports baseline comparisons and CI gating via --fail-on-new.

The author emphasizes that SafeAI strictly provides static source/configuration evidence. It does not run agents, call LLMs, or upload source code, making it a safe and lightweight addition to development pipelines.
