|
|
67
|

2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
|
68
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
69
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
70
|
+
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
|
|
71
|
+
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
|
|
72
|

+
|
|
74
|
+
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
|
75
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
76
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
77
|

(except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
|
|
78
|
+
use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
|
|
79
|
+
where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
|
|
80
|
+
by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
|
|
81
|
+
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
|
|
82
|
+
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
|
|
83
|
+
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
|
|
84
|
+
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
|
|
85
|
+
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
|
|
86
|
+
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|
87
|
+
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
|
|
88
|
+
as of the date such litigation is filed.
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
|
|
91
|
+
Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
|
|
92
|
+
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
|
|
93
|
+
meet the following conditions:
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
|
|
96
|
+
Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
|
|
99
|
+
stating that You changed the files; and
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
|
|
102
|
+
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
|
|
103
|
+
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
|
|
104
|
+
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
|
|
105
|
+
the Derivative Works; and
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
(d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
|
|
108
|
+
distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
|
|
109
|
+
include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
|
|
110
|
+
within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
|
|
111
|
+
pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
|
|
112
|
+
of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
|
|
113
|
+
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
|
|
114
|
+
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
|
|
115
|
+
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
|
|
116
|
+
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
|
|
117
|
+
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
|
|
118
|
+
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
|
|
119
|
+
notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
|
|
120
|
+
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
|
|
121
|
+
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
|
|
122
|
+
as modifying the License.
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
|
|
125
|
+
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
|
|
126
|
+
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
|
|
127
|
+
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
|
|
128
|
+
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
|
|
129
|
+
the conditions stated in this License.
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
|
|
132
|
+
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
|
|
133
|
+
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
|
|
134
|
+
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
|
135
|
+
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
|
|
136
|
+
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
|
|
137
|
+
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
140
|
+
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
|
|
141
|
+
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
|
|
142
|
+
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
|
|
145
|
+
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
|
|
146
|
+
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
|
|
147
|
+
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
|
|
148
|
+
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
|
|
149
|
+
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
|
|
150
|
+
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
|
|
151
|
+
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
|
|
152
|
+
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
|
|
153
|
+
|
|
154
|
+
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
|
|
155
|
+
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
|
156
|
+
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
|
|
157
|
+
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
|
158
|
+
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
|
|
159
|
+
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
|
160
|
+
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
|
|
161
|
+
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
|
|
162
|
+
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
|
|
163
|
+
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|
|
164
|
+
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
|
165
|
+
|
|
166
|
+
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
|
|
167
|
+
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
|
|
168
|
+
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
|
|
169
|
+
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
|
|
170
|
+
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
|
|
171
|
+
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
|
|
172
|
+
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
|
|
173
|
+
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
|
|
174
|
+
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
|
|
175
|
+
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

### A watchtower for AI agents.

**Scan MCP servers and AI-agent tool manifests for hidden risk — before an attacker finds it.**

|
+
|
|
37
|
+
Your AI agent trusts tools, MCP servers and skills it didn't write. A tool's
|
|
38
|
+
description is injected straight into the model's context — so a *poisoned*
|
|
39
|
+
description can quietly tell your agent to leak a key, call an attacker's
|
|
40
|
+
server, or run a shell command. **Palanit Core reads every tool the way your
|
|
41
|
+
agent will, and flags the ones that would betray it.**
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
- **Zero dependencies.** Pure Python standard library. Nothing to audit but the rules.
|
|
44
|
+
- **Fast & local.** Runs on your machine. Sends nothing anywhere.
|
|
45
|
+
- **CI-ready.** Exits `1` on `HIGH`+ findings, so a poisoned tool fails the build.
|
|
46
|
+
- **Open & honest.** Every rule is readable. Severities reflect real impact, not upsell.

## Responsible use
|

|
|
119
|

Palanit Core only reads files you give it — but the broader PALANIT suite
|
|
120
|
+
(botprobe) sends live test traffic. **Only scan or test systems you own or are
|
|
121
|
+
authorized to test.** A clean scan reduces risk; it does not prove safety.
|
|
122

**Scan MCP servers and AI-agent tool manifests for hidden risk — before an attacker finds it.**

|
+
|
|
15
|
+
Your AI agent trusts tools, MCP servers and skills it didn't write. A tool's
|
|
16
|
+
description is injected straight into the model's context — so a *poisoned*
|
|
17
|
+
description can quietly tell your agent to leak a key, call an attacker's
|
|
18
|
+
server, or run a shell command. **Palanit Core reads every tool the way your
|
|
19
|
+
agent will, and flags the ones that would betray it.**
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+
- **Zero dependencies.** Pure Python standard library. Nothing to audit but the rules.
|
|
22
|
+
- **Fast & local.** Runs on your machine. Sends nothing anywhere.
|
|
23
|
+
- **CI-ready.** Exits `1` on `HIGH`+ findings, so a poisoned tool fails the build.
|
|
24
|
+
- **Open & honest.** Every rule is readable. Severities reflect real impact, not upsell.
