About PentAGI
PentAGI is listed in our security & governance category and is aimed at builders. Autonomous multi-agent system for running penetration testing tasks. Pricing, as the maker states it: Open source. Maturity: Mature. We last checked the official link on 2026-10-16.
What is PentAGI?
PentAGI is an open-source, self-hosted multi-agent system for autonomous penetration testing. You describe a target and a goal in plain language, and a team of specialized AI agents plans the work, runs 20+ professional tools such as nmap, Metasploit and sqlmap inside an isolated Docker sandbox, and hands you a report.
It runs on your own servers with your choice of model: 10+ cloud LLM providers, your own OpenAI-compatible gateway, or local models through Ollama or vLLM. Results are kept in PostgreSQL with pgvector, and an optional Neo4j knowledge graph tracks hosts, services and findings.

PentAGI alternatives
Other security & governance tools in our directory. See all security & governance tools →
PentestAgent
Agent framework for black-box security testing and bug bounty work.
CyberStrike
Terminal agent for authorized penetration testing that runs recon, vulnerability discovery and reporting with specialized security agents on your own LLM.
OpenAPPA
OpenAPPA is a deterministic guardrail that sits between an AI agent and its tools and tracks how data flows across tool calls, instead of asking a second model to judge each call. Policies decide whether untrusted or sensitive data may reach a given action, which blocks data exfiltration caused by prompt injection or hallucination while letting agents finish their tasks. It plugs into Claude Code, Pi, OpenCode, kAgent and Archestra, comes with reusable policy "batteries", validation, observability and reporting, and is backed by a NeurIPS workshop paper with published benchmarks. It is in preview as an open RFC.
Pragor
Coordination and governance layer for teams of people and AI agents, not an autonomous agent: a shared board with tasks, directed messages, approvals, files and an attributable activity record, where agents connect over REST or project MCP access.
ADR
Uber's Agentic AI Detection and Response system that secures employee and customer-facing AI agents with observability and threat detection.
Agent Governance Toolkit
Microsoft toolkit for policy enforcement, identity and sandboxing for AI agents.
