Inkog

The pre-flight check for AI agents.

Static analysis that catches the bugs only agent code can have — token bombing, prompt injection, missing oversight, compliance gaps — before they ship.

Inkog scanning AI agent code for vulnerabilities

Why Inkog

Most security tools find SQL injection. Inkog finds the things that only break in agent code:

  • Token bombing — loops where the LLM controls termination, draining your API budget
  • Recursive tool calling — one user request fans out into 10,000 LLM invocations
  • Prompt injection sinks — RAG output flowing into a system prompt no one reviewed
  • Missing oversight — destructive tools (refunds, deletes, money) firing without human approval
  • Cross-tenant leakage — global state shared between agent invocations
  • MCP tool poisoning — malicious tool descriptions hijacking your agent

Findings map directly to EU AI Act Article 14 / 15, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and OWASP LLM Top 10 — at the article level, not just bucket labels.

State of AI Agent Security 2026

We scanned 500+ open-source AI agents. 85% had at least one vulnerability.

Other findings from the data:

  • 63% of findings were CRITICAL or HIGH severity
  • 25% failed EU AI Act Article 14 (human oversight)
  • 11,705 total findings across LangChain · CrewAI · AutoGen · pydantic-ai · LangGraph · MCP servers · OpenAI Agents · n8n · Flowise · DSPy

The largest security analysis of the AI agent ecosystem — original data from automated static analysis, not surveys.
