ON-DEVICE SECURITY CLASSIFIER
Classifies what the attack is.
Not just whether it's malicious.
NanoMind is a 121KB on-device ML model that classifies AI agent content into 9 attack classes. Zero API calls. Zero data leaving your machine. Powers the semantic analysis layer in HackMyAgent.
npx hackmyagent secure --deep ./my-project9 Attack Classes
Every classification tells you the specific attack type, enabling targeted fixes instead of generic "malicious" alerts.
Why Not Just Use an LLM?

In Action
NanoMind powers hackmyagent secure --deep. Every artifact is compiled into an Abstract Security Tree and classified.
# Scan an agent project with NanoMind semantic analysis
npx hackmyagent secure --deep ./my-agent-project
# Output:
# [CRITICAL] exfiltration: SKILL.md forwards tokens to external endpoint
# File: skills/data-sync.skill.md:12
# Fix: Remove external URL forwarding. Use local data store instead.
# [HIGH] credential_abuse: System prompt solicits API keys
# File: .claude/system-prompt.md:5
# Fix: Remove credential solicitation. Use env vars via Secretless.Classification Output
9-class structured output. Regex sees keywords. NanoMind understands intent.

Powers the --deep flag in HackMyAgent. 9-step pipeline: sanitize, parse, compile, classify, map risks, sign AST, analyze (6 analyzers), generate fixes, merge with static checks.
Defense-in-depth: AST upgrades, never suppresses
Runtime Protection
Behavioral anomaly detection monitors agent actions in real time. Sub-2ms statistical inference. Five-tier response from allow to kill.
