About llm_agents

LLM Agents Small library to build agents which are controlled by large language models (LLMs) which is heavily inspired by langchain. The goal was to get a better grasp of how such an agent works and understand it all in very few lines of code. Langchain is great, but it already has a few more files and abstraction layers, so I thought it would be nice to build the most important parts of a simple agent from scratch. Some more infos are in this Hacker News discussion from April 5th 2023 and the related blog post. How it works The agent works like this: It gets instructed by a prompt which tells it the basic way to solve a task using tools Tools are custom build components which the agent can use So far, I've implemented the ability to execute Python code in a REPL, to use the Google search and to search on Hacker News The agent runs in a loop of Thought, Action, Observation, Thought, ...

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
