agent-bom-ingest#

Use this skill when the operator already produced canonical inventory JSON with an operator-pull adapter, endpoint collector, CMDB export, or AI-agent workflow. The default path is local validation plus local scan/export.

Guardrails#

• Validate inventory with the packaged schema before treating it as evidence.
• Require discovery_provenance and permissions_used where the source claims cloud/operator-pushed discovery.
• Require a trustworthy discovery_provenance.source_type such as operator_pushed_inventory or skill_invoked_pull; do not infer it from prose.
• Do not invent provenance, permissions, cloud scopes, or credential posture.
• Do not push to a control plane unless the operator provides the destination URL and auth method explicitly.
• Do not print raw tokens, URL credentials, private keys, or env var values.

Workflow#

Validate first:

bash

agent-bom mcp validate inventory.json

Scan locally:

bash

agent-bom scan --inventory inventory.json --format json --output agent-bom-findings.json

Choose output by consumer:

• SARIF for CI/code-scanning gates
• JSON for graph, API, and automation
• HTML or Markdown for human review
• CycloneDX/SPDX for SBOM consumers

Evidence Contract#

Valid inventory preserves discovery_provenance, permissions_used, cloud_origin, redaction state, package identity, server identity, tools, and security intelligence. If the inventory is malformed or missing required trust fields, stop and ask the operator to regenerate it rather than scanning a best-effort summary.
