# PALANIT

> PALANIT is the independent, developer-first security and governance layer for AI agents. It finds hidden risks in the tools, MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and skills that autonomous AI agents trust — poisoned tool descriptions, hidden-instruction injection, data exfiltration, invisible Unicode payloads, leaked secrets and supply-chain risk — before an attacker can exploit them.

PALANIT is built and led by Stanislav Miziyev, a security engineer with a background in threat research and detection engineering. The detection core is open source; the hosted platform and defense tools are commercial.

## Products

- [Palanit Core](https://palanit.com/products/core): Free, open-source, zero-dependency scanner for MCP servers and AI-agent skills. Runs in the terminal or CI. Detects tool-description poisoning, hidden instructions, data exfiltration to external URLs, invisible Unicode, hardcoded secrets, unpinned/typosquatted packages, non-TLS transport, shell-exec tools and name collisions. Exit code 1 on HIGH+ findings for CI gating.
- [Palanit OS](https://palanit.com/products/os): Hosted platform. In-browser scanning (paste a config, get a report), continuous monitoring, change alerts, scan history and exportable audit reports.
- [Palanit Bot Killer](https://palanit.com/products/bot-killer): Defense layer. Detects and blocks abusive AI crawlers on small sites and shops (drop-in plugin), and includes "botprobe" — a self-serve red-team that tests your chatbot for prompt injection and data leaks and returns a fix report.
