THE NEW ATTACK SURFACE
Agents don't just
process data. They act.
Tools, APIs, memory, retrieval, credentials and other agents expand the security boundary beyond the model itself. RuntimeScan maps those connections and continuously tests what an autonomous system could be manipulated into doing.

FINDING
SCAN SURFACES
Inspect the complete agent attack surface.
01 / INPUT
Prompts
Probe instruction boundaries, indirect injection and adversarial content paths.
02 / ACTION
Tools
Map tool authority, parameters, permissions and dangerous execution paths.
03 / STATE
Memory
Test persistence boundaries, poisoning resistance and sensitive-state handling.
04 / TRUST
Identity
Detect excessive privileges, confused delegation and unsafe trust relationships.
ATTACK SURFACE MAP
See every path
into the runtime.
Build a live map of the agent's models, tools, MCP servers, APIs, memory stores, retrieval sources, identities, credentials, external data and downstream agents.
PROMPT INJECTION
Attack the instructions
before attackers do.
Test direct and indirect injection paths across user input, websites, documents, email, retrieval pipelines and tool responses to determine whether untrusted content can redirect agent behavior.
TOOL ABUSE
Find what the agent
can be tricked into doing.
Exercise tool calls with adversarial parameters, unexpected sequences and manipulated context to identify capabilities that exceed the agent's intended operating envelope.
FINDING / TOOL AUTHORITY
CRITICAL / RS-1042
Unbounded filesystem write
9.4
Agent can write outside the intended workspace through a tool parameter not constrained by runtime policy.
TOOL MISUSE PRIVILEGE REPRODUCIBLE
MEMORY POISONING
Scan what the agent
carries forward.
Test whether malicious or misleading content can enter persistent state and influence later sessions, decisions, users or downstream agents.
PRIVILEGE SCAN
Find authority
the agent doesn't need.
Compare intended tasks against actual permissions across tools, APIs, databases, SaaS applications, infrastructure and delegated identities.
MCP SCANNING
Trust the connector
only after you inspect it.
Analyze MCP servers, tool manifests, capabilities, permissions and dependency relationships for dangerous functionality, excessive access and unexpected trust paths.
DEPENDENCY SCAN
The agent inherits
its supply chain.
Inventory packages, frameworks, models, plugins, MCP servers and external services that become part of the runtime trust boundary.
SECRET EXPOSURE
Find sensitive values
inside the runtime.
Inspect selected prompts, configuration, logs, memory, generated artifacts and execution environments for credentials and sensitive data that should not be exposed.
DATA EXFILTRATION
Test where sensitive
information can escape.
Probe outbound tool calls, generated responses, external APIs and multi-agent communication for paths that could move protected information outside approved boundaries.
AGENT-TO-AGENT
Scan the trust chain,
not just one agent.
Analyze delegation, message boundaries and inherited permissions across multi-agent workflows to identify cascading trust and privilege paths.
GOAL HIJACKING
Can external content
change the mission?
Challenge agents with conflicting instructions and adversarial environmental signals to identify conditions where execution drifts away from the intended objective.
BEHAVIORAL SCANNING
Static configuration
is only half the story.
Observe live execution patterns including tool sequences, retry loops, delegation depth, unusual resource access and deviations from established behavioral baselines.
CONTINUOUS SCAN
Security testing doesn't
end at deployment.
Rescan when prompts, models, tools, memory architecture, permissions, connectors, policies or dependencies change—and continuously observe production behavior for newly exposed paths.
AUTONOMOUS RED TEAM
Attack every build.
Automatically.
Run repeatable adversarial scenarios against agent versions to test injection resistance, tool boundaries, privilege controls, approval gates, memory safety and data handling.
CI/CD SECURITY GATE
Unsafe agents
don't ship.
Integrate runtime security tests into deployment pipelines and block releases when critical attack paths or policy regressions appear.
REGRESSION DETECTION
Yesterday's safe agent
can become today's risk.
Compare security behavior across versions to identify new privileges, weakened controls, changed tool behavior and attack scenarios that previously failed but now succeed.
RISK GRAPH
Connect individual findings
into attack paths.
A low-risk connector and an excessive permission may become critical when chained together. Model relationships between findings to expose compound agentic risk.
RISK SCORING
Turn agent risk
into something measurable.
Prioritize findings using exploitability, autonomy, privilege, exposure, data sensitivity, downstream impact and compensating controls rather than treating every alert equally.
REMEDIATION
Don't just find risk.
Show how to close it.
Connect findings to actionable changes such as narrower tool permissions, stronger parameter constraints, memory isolation, approval requirements, shorter credential lifetimes and runtime policy enforcement.
EVIDENCE
Every finding comes
with a path to reproduce it.
Preserve the tested agent version, attack scenario, tool sequence, policy state and observed result so engineering and security teams can verify remediation.
SECURITY POSTURE
One scorecard for
the autonomous estate.
Roll runtime findings into organization-wide posture views by agent, team, environment, framework and business function.
RUNTIME CHANGE
Change the agent.
Trigger the scanner.
Model changes, new tools, permission updates, modified prompts and new integrations automatically become reasons to reassess the security posture.
FRAMEWORK NEUTRAL
Scan the runtime.
Not the logo.
Apply a common security methodology across internally built agents, open-source frameworks, commercial platforms, MCP ecosystems and future autonomous architectures.
RUNTIME TELEMETRY
Scan configuration.
Then watch execution.
Combine pre-deployment analysis with runtime telemetry so risk assessment reflects both what an agent is configured to do and what it actually does in production.
THE SECURITY LOOP
Discover. Attack.
Fix. Rescan.
Treat agent security as a continuous engineering process rather than a one-time assessment performed immediately before production.
THE CATEGORY
Continuous security scanning
for autonomous systems.
A security platform for continuously discovering and testing agent attack surfaces, permissions, tools, memory, dependencies and runtime behavior.
