Your AI agents load skills and MCP servers from the internet. Spellwarden checks them first: 65 open-source rules mapped to OWASP and NIST flag prompt injection, tool poisoning, leaked secrets and unpinned packages. Findings become policy for Claude Code hooks, Kong and Zuplo. Evals show whether a skill helps, runtime traces show what agents use, and a private registry admits only what passes. Free Apache-2.0 scanner, EU-hosted, live demo with no signup.

Could you build this?

Partial The scanning UI, policy export, and gateway integrations are buildable, but the 65 detection rules and their accuracy evals need real security expertise and a test corpus of malicious skills and MCP servers.

What it would actually take: The core is a static analyzer that parses agent skill files and MCP server manifests, plus a rule engine mapped to OWASP and NIST categories. Integrations with Claude Code hooks and API gateways like Kong and Zuplo are mostly plumbing. The hard part is writing rules that catch prompt injection and tool poisoning without high false positives, which requires AppSec expertise and a labeled dataset of malicious and benign examples to evaluate against.
