Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Triaging Scanner Output with LLM

import json
import openai

def triage_findings(findings_path, model="gpt-4"):
    with open(findings_path) as f:
        findings = json.load(f)
    
    triaged = []
    for finding in findings:
        prompt = f"""
Analyze this security finding and classify as:
- TRUE_POSITIVE: Real vulnerability
- FALSE_POSITIVE: Not exploitable
- NEEDS_REVIEW: Uncertain

Finding: {finding['title']}
Evidence: {finding['evidence']}
"""
        response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
            model=model,
            messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
        )
        
        classification = response.choices[0].message.content
        finding["llm_triage"] = classification
        triaged.append(finding)
    
    return triaged

Pattern 2: Agent Skill Security Audit

# Clone agent-audit
git clone https://github.com/scadastrangelove/agent-audit.git
cd agent-audit

# Audit your agent configuration
python agent-audit.py \
  --scan-history ~/.config/claude/history \
  --scan-project ~/my-project \
  --llm-verify \
  --output audit-report.json

# Review high-severity findings
jq '.findings[] | select(.severity == "HIGH")' audit-report.json

Pattern 3: Model Supply Chain Scanning

# Install ModelScan
pip install modelscan

# Scan all models in directory
find ./models -name "*.bin" -o -name "*.pkl" | while read model; do
  echo "Scanning $model"
  modelscan scan --path "$model" --output-format json > "${model}.scan.json"
done

# Aggregate results
jq -s '[.[] | select(.issues | length > 0)]' ./models/*.scan.json

Environment Variables

Most tools in this list require API keys or endpoints:

# OpenAI
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."

# Azure OpenAI
export AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://..."
export AZURE_OPENAI_KEY="..."

# Anthropic
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."

# Local LLM (Ollama/vLLM)
export OLLAMA_ENDPOINT="http://localhost:11434"
export VLLM_ENDPOINT="http://localhost:8000/v1"

# Commercial tools
export LAKERA_API_KEY="..."
export INVARIANT_API_KEY="..."

Troubleshooting

Issue: Rate limits with OpenAI API

Solution: Use local LLM endpoints (Ollama, vLLM) or batch processing:

import time

def triage_with_backoff(finding, retries=3):
    for i in range(retries):
        try:
            return triage_finding(finding)
        except openai.error.RateLimitError:
            wait = 2 ** i
            print(f"Rate limited, waiting {wait}s")
            time.sleep(wait)
    raise Exception("Max retries exceeded")

Issue: Agent-audit not detecting skills

Solution: Verify agent config paths:

# Claude Code
ls ~/.config/claude/skills

# Cursor
ls ~/.cursor/skills

# Codex CLI
ls ~/.codex/extensions

Manually specify paths:

python agent-audit.py --skills-dir ~/.config/claude/skills

Issue: ModelScan false positives

Solution: Review quarantine reasons and whitelist safe patterns:

modelscan scan --path model.bin --show-skipped
# Add to .modelscan-ignore
echo "safe_pickle_pattern_*" >> .modelscan-ignore

Issue: LLM hallucinating vulnerabilities

Solution: Use multi-stage verification (falsifier pattern):

def verify_finding(finding):
    # Stage 1: Initial detection
    initial = llm_detect(finding)
    
    # Stage 2: Skeptical review
    if initial["is_vulnerable"]:
        skeptical_prompt = f"""
Act as a security engineer who is SKEPTICAL of AI findings.
Review this vulnerability and argue why it might be FALSE POSITIVE:

{finding}
"""
        skeptical = llm_analyze(skeptical_prompt)
        
        # Only flag if both agree
        return initial["is_vulnerable"] and not skeptical["is_false_positive"]
    
    return False
