AI AppSec Starter Kit — Secure Agentic AI & MCP in Your DevSecOps Pipeline

The AI agent is now in your pipeline. The same agent that fixes your vulnerabilities can, if you build it wrong, be told to ship one.

Automated, agentic AI — coding assistants, vulnerability-remediation bots, MCP integrations — gives a model read access to your code, exposure to untrusted content, and the power to open pull requests and act on your systems. That combination is a brand-new attack surface, and most teams are wiring it up faster than they're securing it.

This kit turns the frameworks — the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, the OWASP Agentic AI & MCP risk themes, and the "lethal trifecta" — into things you can actually run, assess, and ship. It's built from real, production-grade controls used in regulated, cloud-native environments, not theory.

What's inside (5 files, instant download):

• ① Secure Agentic Remediation Pipeline — Reference Architecture (PDF). A hardened, annotated pipeline design with a clear diagram: where the trust boundary goes, how to keep the "lethal trifecta" legs apart, and where the human-in-the-loop gate belongs. Plus design principles and the metrics that prove it works.
• ② MCP Security Assessment Checklist (XLSX). ~40 controls across 10 domains — authentication, least-privilege scoping, tool poisoning, network exposure, prompt injection, human-in-the-loop, isolation, secrets, logging, and supply chain — each mapped to OWASP risks, with status dropdowns and an auto-updating dashboard that flags every Critical control you haven't implemented yet.
• ③ Agentic AI Threat-Model Template (DOCX). A fillable, one-sitting threat model: lethal-trifecta worksheet, tool/MCP inventory, a STRIDE × Agentic threat table, OWASP risk review, and sign-off. Editable and rebrandable.
• ④ Prompt-Injection & Agent Red-Team Test Playbook (PDF). Ten test categories with what to attempt, the expected secure behavior, results columns, rules of engagement, and exit criteria — safe methodology for authorized testing.
• ⑤ Start Here — Kit Overview (PDF). How the pieces fit and the fastest path to "done."

Who it's for: AppSec, DevSecOps, and platform-security engineers building or reviewing AI agents and MCP integrations — especially in PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, and NIST environments.

Why this kit: it's written by a security engineer who builds and hardens these pipelines, in the voice of "here's exactly what I run in production." Practical, current, and immediately usable.
