Agent Account Auditor
One-click check if your GitHub agent account has safe permissions, preventing accidental privilege escalation.
- Problem
- Developers let AI agents use separate GitHub accounts but often don't know the account's permission scope (e.g., mistakenly granted write access, linked to sensitive repos), creating security holes. Checking token scopes and repo permissions manually is tedious.
- Solution
- A free online tool or CLI that connects to the agent account and analyzes token permissions, accessible repos, collaborator rights, etc., gives risk ratings and least-privilege recommendations, and generates fix configs.
- Users
- Developers and open-source maintainers using AI agents on GitHub.
- MVP
- Read agent account permissions via OAuth or token; display permission list and risks (e.g., admin scope); generate least-privilege suggestions and config templates; periodic scan reminders.
- Revenue
- Basic free, premium for continuous monitoring and multi-account team management ($5/mo).
- Why now
- Since GitHub allowed agent accounts, abuse risk has risen, but permission check tools are missing—indie developers can move fast.
