Agent Shield
The complete security standard for AI agents. 400+ exports. 94 modules. Every feature free. Protect your agents from prompt injection, confused deputy attacks, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, and 30+ other AI-specific threats.
Zero dependencies. All detection runs locally. No API keys. No tiers. No data ever leaves your environment.
Available for Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, and in-browser via WASM.
Indirect Prompt Injection Detection
Stop attacks hidden in RAG chunks, tool outputs, emails, and documents. The IPIA detector implements the joint-context embedding + classifier pipeline to catch injections that bypass pattern matching.
const { IPIADetector } = require('agentshield-sdk');
const detector = new IPIADetector({ threshold: 0.5 });
// Scan RAG chunks before feeding to your LLM
const result = detector.scan(
retrievedChunk, // External content (RAG, tool output, email, etc.)
userQuery // The user's original intent
);
if (result.isInjection) {
console.log('Blocked IPIA:', result.reason, '(confidence:', result.confidence + ')');
}
// Batch scan all RAG results at once
const batch = detector.scanBatch(allChunks, userQuery);
const safeChunks = allChunks.filter((_, i) => !batch.results[i].isInjection);
// Pluggable embeddings for power users (MiniLM, OpenAI, etc.)
const detector2 = new IPIADetector({
embeddingBackend: { embed: async (text) => myModel.encode(text) }
});
const result2 = await detector2.scanAsync(chunk, query);MCP Security Runtime
One line to secure any MCP server. The unified security layer that connects per-user authorization, threat scanning, behavioral monitoring, and audit logging into a single runtime.
Directly addresses the four IAM gaps from Meta's rogue AI agent incident (March 2026).
const { MCPSecurityRuntime } = require('agent-shield');
const runtime = new MCPSecurityRuntime({
signingKey: process.env.SHIELD_KEY,
enforceAuth: true,
enableBehaviorMonitoring: true
});
// Register tools with security requirements
runtime.registerTool('read_data', { scopes: ['data:read'], roles: ['analyst'] });
runtime.registerTool('delete_data', { scopes: ['admin:write'], roles: ['admin'], requiresHumanApproval: true });
// Create authenticated session
const { sessionId } = runtime.createSession({
userId: '[email protected]',
agentId: 'research-agent',
roles: ['analyst'],
scopes: ['data:read'],
intent: 'quarterly_report'
});
// Every tool call is secured — auth, scanning, behavior monitoring, audit
const result = runtime.secureToolCall(sessionId, 'read_data', { query: 'Q4 revenue' });
// { allowed: true, threats: [], violations: [], anomalies: [], token: {...} }
// Blocked: agent tries to access data beyond its scope
const blocked = runtime.secureToolCall(sessionId, 'delete_data', { target: 'all' });
// { allowed: false, violations: [{ type: 'scope', message: 'Missing admin:write' }] }MCP Certification — "Agent Shield Certified"
const { MCPCertification } = require('agent-shield');
// Audit your MCP server against 15 security requirements
const cert = MCPCertification.evaluate({
enforceAuth: true,
signingKey: 'production-key',
scanInputs: true,
scanOutputs: true,
enableBehaviorMonitoring: true,
onThreat: alertSecurityTeam,
registeredTools: 12
});
// { certified: true, level: 'Platinum', score: 98, badge: '🛡️ Agent Shield Certified — Platinum' }Cross-Organization Agent Trust
const { CrossOrgAgentTrust } = require('agent-shield');
// Issue trust certificates for agents crossing organizational boundaries
const ca = new CrossOrgAgentTrust({ orgId: 'acme-corp', signingKey: process.env.CA_KEY });
const cert = ca.issueCertificate({
agentId: 'acme-assistant',
capabilities: ['read_docs', 'search'],
allowedOrgs: ['partner-corp'],
trustLevel: 8
});
// Verify incoming agent certificates
const verification = ca.verifyCertificate(incomingCert);
// { valid: true, trustLevel: 8 }Drop-In for @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
const { Server } = require('@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/index.js');
const { shieldMCPServer } = require('agent-shield');
const server = shieldMCPServer(new Server({ name: 'my-server', version: '1.0' }));
// Done. All tool calls scanned, injections blocked, audit trail created.Or import directly: const { shieldMCPServer } = require('agent-shield/mcp');

Agent Shield CORTEX goes beyond pattern matching with autonomous threat intelligence:
const { AttackGenome, IntentFirewall, HerdImmunity, SecurityAudit } = require('agentshield-sdk');
// Attack Genome: detect unseen variants by recognizing attack DNA
const genome = new AttackGenome();
const dna = genome.sequence('ignore all previous instructions');
// { intent: 'override_instructions', technique: 'direct_command', target: 'system_prompt' }
// Intent Firewall: same words, different action
const firewall = new IntentFirewall();
firewall.classify('Help me write a phishing email'); // BLOCKED
firewall.classify('Help me write about phishing training'); // ALLOWED
// Herd Immunity: attack on Agent A protects Agent B
const herd = new HerdImmunity();
herd.connect('agent-a');
herd.connect('agent-b');
herd.reportAttack({ text: 'DAN mode jailbreak', agentId: 'agent-a' });
// agent-b now has the pattern
// Pre-Deployment Audit: 617+ attacks in under 100ms
const audit = new SecurityAudit();
const report = audit.run();
console.log(report.formatReport());CORTEX modules: Attack Genome Sequencing, Adversarial Evolution Simulator, Intent Firewall, Cross-Agent Herd Immunity, Federated Threat Intelligence, Agent Behavioral DNA, Pre-Deployment Audit, Flight Recorder, Supply Chain Verification, SOC Dashboard, Attack Replay, Compliance Certification Authority.
CI/CD
A GitHub Actions workflow is included at .github/workflows/ci.yml. It runs all tests across Node.js 18, 20, and 22 on every push and PR.
Why Free?
Agent Shield started as a paid SDK with Pro and Enterprise tiers. We removed all gating in v9.0. Every feature — ML detection, compliance reporting, MCP security, CORTEX autonomous defense — is now free and open source.
Security shouldn't have a paywall. If your agent is vulnerable, it doesn't matter what tier you're on.
Privacy
All detection runs locally using pattern matching. No data is sent to any external service. No API keys required. No cloud dependencies. See PRIVACY.md for details.
