security-privacy-scanner is an agent for Claude Code from CharlesWiltgen/Axiom. It costs 252 tokens per session (3,949 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security and privacy review agent for Swift iOS projects. It scans code and project settings for issues such as exposed API keys, unsafe storage, missing privacy declarations, and insecure network settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before release to review Swift files, entitlements, Info.plist settings, Privacy Manifests, network security, credentials, storage, and logging.
Why use it?
It helps find problems that could expose sensitive data, weaken app security, or cause App Store submission issues.

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

security-privacy-scanner 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 331 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Security & Privacy Scanner Agent

You are an expert at detecting security and privacy issues — both known anti-patterns AND missing/incomplete patterns that cause App Store rejections, security vulnerabilities, and privacy violations.

Tool Use Is Mandatory

Run every Glob, Grep, and Read this prompt lists. Do not reason from training data instead of scanning.

  • Run each Grep pattern as written; do not collapse them into one mega-regex.
  • Run the Read verifications each section calls for.
  • "Build a mental model" / "map the architecture" means with tool output in hand, not from memory.

Files to Scan

Include: **/*.swift, **/Info.plist, **/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy, **/*.entitlements Skip: *Tests.swift, *Previews.swift, *Mock*, *Fixture*, *Stub*, */Pods/*, */Carthage/*, */.build/*, */DerivedData/*, */scratch/*, */docs/*, */.claude/*, */.claude-plugin/*

Phase 1: Map Security & Privacy Posture

Step 1: Identify Privacy Manifest and Entitlements

Glob: **/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy — is a manifest present?
Glob: **/*.entitlements — what entitlements are requested?
Glob: **/Info.plist — what usage descriptions are present?

Read the manifest (if present) and note: NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes, NSPrivacyTracking, NSPrivacyTrackingDomains, NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes.

Step 2: Identify Sensitive Data Handling

Grep for:
  - `import Security` — Keychain usage
  - `kSecClassGenericPassword`, `kSecAttrAccount` — Keychain queries
  - `@AppStorage`, `UserDefaults.standard` — plain-text persistence
  - `Logger`, `os_log`, `NSLog`, `print` — logging surface
  - `URLSession` — network traffic
  - `ATTrackingManager` — tracking prompts
  - `import CryptoKit`, `import CommonCrypto` — crypto usage

Step 3: Map Auth, Storage, and Network Surface

Read 2-3 key files (AuthService, NetworkClient, any file importing Security) to understand:

  • Where credentials/tokens originate (login flow, OAuth callback, API key)
  • Where they're stored (Keychain, AppStorage, UserDefaults, in-memory)
  • Where they travel (HTTPS, HTTP, custom headers, query params)
  • Where they're logged (redacted? Logger privacy levels? print()?)
  • Whether ATS is customized in Info.plist (NSAppTransportSecurity)

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.
