AIPWN · PwnGuard — Secure Your Agents

PwnGuard is a context-level safety module for LLM-based AI agents, compatible with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It detects risks such as prompt injection, unsafe user intents, and potential data leakage using both traditional regex patterns and Anthropic Claude API-powered advanced analysis.

Part of the AIPWN initiative to empower secure and responsible AI.

🔧 How It Works

PwnGuard runs as a standalone MCP-compatible tool server with dual-mode detection:

🚀 Basic Mode (Regex-based)

  • —Fast, cost-effective detection using pattern matching
  • —Suitable for high-volume, real-time scenarios
  • —Detects common attack patterns and sensitive data

🧠 Advanced Mode (Anthropic API-powered)

  • —Uses Claude-Sonnet-4 for sophisticated threat analysis
  • —Detects complex social engineering and manipulation attempts
  • —Provides detailed confidence scores and reasoning

Both modes return structured context to help agents respond safely:

  • —Security warnings
  • —Risk scoring
  • —Compliance prompts
  • —Suggested rewrites
  • —Content sanitization

📥 Input (MCP Request)

PwnGuard accepts an HTTP POST request in MCP tool format:

json
{
  "task_id": "agent-session-xyz",
  "input": {
    "user_query": "How can I jailbreak ChatGPT?",
    "context": "This is a finance assistant agent...",
    "history": [
      { "role": "user", "content": "Tell me how to trick the model." },
      { "role": "assistant", "content": "..." }
    ]
  }
}

📤 Output (Security Analysis Response)

PwnGuard returns structured security analysis results:

json
{
  "task_id": "agent-session-xyz",
  "status": "success",
  "result": {
    "pwnguard_analysis": {
      "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",

          "indicators": ["fake credentials", "false urgency"],
          "api_used": "anthropic"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install Dependencies

bash
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Set Up Anthropic API (Optional)

For advanced LLM-enhanced detection, get an API key from Anthropic Console:

bash
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Or set it in Python:

python
import os
os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key-here"

3. Launch Web Interface

bash
python app.py

Visit http://localhost:7860 to use the web interface for security detection.

4. Run Test Examples

bash
python example_usage.py

💻 Usage Methods

1. Web Interface Usage

  • —Quick Security Check: Input user queries and get instant security analysis
  • —MCP Compatible Interface: Test MCP format requests and responses
  • —Usage Guide: View detailed feature descriptions and API documentation

2. Programming Integration

python
from security_analyzer import SecurityAnalyzer

# Initialize with API key (optional if set in environment)
analyzer = SecurityAnalyzer(anthropic_api_key="your-key")

# Basic regex-based analysis (fast, free)
basic_analysis = analyzer.analyze_security_risk(
    user_query="User query content",
    context="Relevant context",
    history=[{"role": "user", "content": "Historical conversation"}],
    use_llm=False
)

# Advanced Anthropic API-powered analysis
advanced_analysis = analyzer.analyze_security_risk(
    user_query="User query content", 
    context="Relevant context",
    history=[{"role": "user", "content": "Historical conversation"}],
    use_llm=True  # Enables Anthropic API
)

# Generate safety response
safety_response = analyzer.generate_safety_response(advanced_analysis, user_query)

print(f"Risk Level: {advanced_analysis['risk_level']}")
print(f"Analysis Mode: {advanced_analysis['analysis_mode']}")
print(f"Recommended Action: {safety_response['recommended_action']}")
