Guardian is a Python CLI tool that automates penetration testing workflows using LLM providers (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Ollama, and others) orchestrated via LangChain. It combines multi-agent AI planning, debate-based false-positive triage, and a RAG knowledge base of CVE/CWE/MITRE data with traditional security tooling for authorized security assessments.

Use cases

  • automate penetration testing workflows with AI
  • run authorized security assessments from the command line
  • triage and filter false-positive vulnerability findings with multi-agent debate
  • ground vulnerability references in CVE/CWE/MITRE ATT&CK data
  • orchestrate pentest tools with an LLM planner
  • run local-model pentest automation with Ollama

When to choose

  • you are a security professional running authorized pentests and want LLM-assisted orchestration
  • you want adaptive, multi-agent AI triage of findings with evidence capture
  • you need provider flexibility including local models via Ollama

When to avoid

  • you need a fully hands-off scanner without human oversight or authorization to test targets
  • you require a license-guaranteed open-source tool (license is non-standard despite MIT badge)
  • you need a lightweight scanner without LLM API costs or dependencies
