I'm Mohamed — a founder working on AI agent security. Been heads-down building for a while and finally shipping recently.
The problem I'm trying to solve: engineering teams don't actually know what AI agents are running in their infrastructure. Not what's in the code — what's actually running. The two are often different. Sometimes significantly.
Last month we scanned a production Kubernetes cluster and found a Python process making calls to OpenAI and Pinecone every 4 minutes. No deployment manifest. No pod spec. No source code anywhere. It had been running for 11 days. Nobody on the team knew.
We call it a GHOST agent — exists at runtime, doesn't exist in any inventory. Built a scanner to find them - AND added other functionality to simply discover and govern AI agents.
The tool is open source, runs in under 60 seconds:

Happy to be here. Looking forward to learning from this community — and hearing if anyone else has run into similar things in production.
