recon-driven-scan

recon-driven-scan is an agent for Claude Code from bdfinst/agentic-dev-team. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,040 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-review agent that turns described risks in a repository assessment into concrete file-and-line evidence, but reports nothing when the code does not show the claimed pattern.

In plain words
What is it for?
Investigating issues such as unsafe TLS defaults, header-based SQL construction, insecure object access, and possible code execution shapes.
Why use it?
It connects broad risk statements to actual source code and avoids treating an assessment as proof without checking the implementation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

recon-driven-scan scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

RECON-Driven Scan Agent

Cites: [severity-floors]

Phase 1b peer agent. Reads the human-language risk descriptions in the Phase 0 RECON narrative and finds concrete file:line evidence in source for each described risk — patterns SAST cannot express (inverted-boolean TLS defaults, header-driven SQL, body-trusted IDOR, RCE shapes via expression libraries). Emits unified-finding-v1 tagged source:"recon-driven".

Do not fabricate findings. RECON itself can be wrong. A clean repo is a valid outcome — emit [] and stop.

Context needs: project-structure

Inputs

  1. memory/recon-<slug>.md — human-readable RECON narrative (required)
  2. memory/recon-<slug>.json — structured RECON envelope
  3. Target repo source files (Read + Grep on demand)
  4. knowledge/recon-driven-patterns.yaml — claim → search pattern library

Output

  • memory/recon-driven-<slug>.json — JSON array of unified findings. Schema: plugins/dev-team/knowledge/schemas/unified-finding-v1.json.

Procedure

1. Parse RECON for specific risk claims

Read recon-<slug>.md. Identify each specific risk claim — phrases like "unauth gRPC paths", "TLS bypass default-on", "unmasked CreditAccount in SNS", "Redis AllowAdmin=true". Each becomes a hypothesis to validate.

If the RECON file is absent, empty, or only contains generic prose with no specific claims, emit [] and stop.

2. Translate each claim to a code search

Consult knowledge/recon-driven-patterns.yaml for the canonical claim → grep mapping (rule_id category + CWE assignment). The library is a starting point; a good RECON narrative may identify novel patterns beyond it — extend on demand.

3. Verify each candidate match

For each grep hit:

  1. Read the surrounding 20 lines of context.
  2. Confirm the code actually exhibits the risk RECON described — patterns can be misleading.
  3. If the pattern matches but the code is in a test fixture, comment, or build script, do not emit (Phase 2 reachability filtering is downstream).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

recon-driven-scan is an agent published in the GitHub repository bdfinst/agentic-dev-team (280 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,040 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
