Open-source CLI Ship Safe audits LLM agent supply-chain risks: only 1 of 4 sampled alerts held up
DiscussionHealthy802 · reddit · 2026-09-04
The maintainer of Ship Safe, an MIT-licensed open-source CLI, introduces a tool focused on the boundary between untrusted repository content and agent capabilities.
Key points:
- Records citations and capability paths across agent/MCP configuration, pull requests, dependencies, and application code
- A pattern match is not automatically treated as an exploit—verdicts derive only when evidence supports the conclusion
- In a manual audit of four application alerts, only one held up, while automated test suites stayed green—showing output volume isn't truth
The author asks the community: what evidence would you require before calling an agent risk exploitable? Repo: github.com/asamassekou10/ship-safe
