All 25 Dependencies

Every package Superagent depends on, ranked by repo health score.

Superagent is an open-source SDK for AI agent safety, packaged as TypeScript and Python clients plus a CLI and MCP server. It ships four capabilities: Guard, which detects and blocks prompt injections and unsafe tool calls at runtime; Redact, which strips PII, PHI, and secrets from text; Scan, which analyzes a GitHub repository for AI-agent-targeted attacks like repo poisoning and malicious instructions; and Test, a red-teaming feature (in progress) for running adversarial scenarios against a deployed agent.

The SDK and CLI code are MIT licensed and open on GitHub, but the guard/redact/scan classification itself runs through Superagent's hosted API — using the SDK requires signing up at superagent.sh for an API key rather than running a self-hosted classification engine locally. In that sense Superagent is closer to an open-source client for a hosted safety API than a fully self-hostable safety engine, similar to how some open SDKs wrap a proprietary backend.

The project is a Y Combinator-backed company (W2024) and ships an MCP server alongside the SDKs so the same guard/redact/scan tools can be called directly from MCP-compatible agent clients, not just via direct SDK integration.
