Fully autonomous AI Agents system capable of performing complex penetration testing tasks

Editor's note

PentAGI is a self-hosted, multi-agent penetration testing system written in Go that autonomously plans and executes security assessments inside sandboxed Docker containers. Users submit a target and objective through a React web interface or via REST and GraphQL APIs, whereupon a supervisor agent breaks the work into subtasks delegated to specialist subagents for research, development, and infrastructure operations. Those agents invoke a built-in suite of over 20 security tools including nmap, Metasploit, and sqlmap, and can query external sources through Tavily, Sploitus, and Perplexity integrations. The system connects to Claude through the Anthropic API as one of ten supported LLM providers, configurable per agent role, and stores all command output in PostgreSQL with the pgvector extension to support long-term memory and a Graphiti-powered Neo4j knowledge graph. Grafana and Prometheus handle observability, and Langfuse can capture LLM traces. The standout architectural detail is smart container selection, where the supervisor automatically picks the appropriate Docker image based on the specific tooling a subtask requires. Security researchers and professional penetration testers conducting authorized assessments are the primary audience.

### Current Capability Boundaries

- PentAGI today is an autonomous and assistant-guided penetration testing platform, not a CALDERA-style Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) or adversary emulation product with predefined campaigns or attack plans.
- BAS-like agent-authored attack scripts should be treated as conceptual or future work, not as a feature that is implemented today.
- The current flow report UI supports web view, copy to clipboard, Markdown download, and PDF download. JSON flow-report export is not documented as a supported output format today.
- Provider flexibility is available today through built-in providers and custom/OpenAI-compatible endpoints. See [Custom LLM Provider Configuration](#custom-llm-provider-configuration) and the [vLLM + Qwen3.5-27B-FP8 guide](examples/guides/vllm-qwen35-27b-fp8.md).
