A comparison of three open-source tools for scanning agent configurations for security risks like prompt injection and supply-chain attacks reveals distinct strengths and weaknesses. Cisco's mcp-scanner offers the most features, including YARA matching, LLM analysis, and dependency auditing, but requires complex API key configurations. Snyk Agent Scan excels at broad auto-discovery across various agents and IDEs, though it mandates a Snyk account and sends data to Snyk's hosted API. The sentinel-scan-cli tool is designed for simplicity and offline use, focusing on OWASP-mapped output for prompt injection and MCP manifest scans without requiring signups or API keys. AI
