| What you need to cover | Nixer | DIY open-source stack |
|---|---|---|
| Setup timeSemgrep + Garak + Promptfoo + custom glue | ~5 minutes. One GitHub Action, zero config. | 2–3 weeks to wire up all tools. Every tool has a different config format. |
| AI agent coverageLangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, LlamaIndex | ✓ Framework-aware rules. Detects agent-specific attack surfaces (tool routing, memory injection, recursive calls). | Semgrep has no AI agent rules. Garak tests models, not agent orchestration. Gap is real. |
| MCP tool surface coverageModel Context Protocol | ✓ mcp-tool-allowlist-missing, fetched-content-unsandboxed, tool-output-injection — 3 dedicated rules. | No OSS tool has MCP-specific detection rules yet. You're writing them from scratch. |
| Prompt injection detectionGarak, Promptfoo | ✓ 150+ probes. Direct + indirect + second-order variants. Runs in <60s. | Garak config is arcane. Promptfoo requires per-model config files. No unified CI output. |
| Code-pattern analysisSemgrep (OSS rules) | ✓ 17+ custom AI rules (prompt sinks, unsafe evals, MCP tool sprawl, RAG poisoning sinks). | Semgrep OSS has zero AI-specific rules. You write them — or pay for Semgrep Pro. |
| CI integrationGitHub Actions, SARIF upload | ✓ One Action, one SARIF file, PR comments with grade + top findings. | Each tool emits its own format. You write the aggregator. Estimated: 3–5 days. |
| Maintained detection rulesOngoing rule updates | ✓ New CVE rules ship automatically. Zero breaking changes. | You own version pinning, rule updates, false-positive triage across 4+ tools. |
| SupportHumans, not docs | ✓ Email support on Pro. Dedicated SE on Enterprise. | GitHub issues for each tool. Garak maintainers are responsive — the rest, good luck. |
