holster

A local security check for repositories that may be given to an AI agent, committed, or shared. It looks for exposed API keys, MCP servers that run unpinned code, and credential files missing from .gitignore; MCP servers are extensions that let an agent use outside tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps decide whether a repository is safe to run with an AI agent and safe to commit or share.
Why use it?
It helps catch secrets and risky agent configuration before they leave the developer's machine or enter version control. The repository is checked locally rather than uploaded.

Security

Grade A, and why

holster 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.

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.
