Decionis vs Snyk Agent Scan
Agent Scan discovers and assesses agent components. Decionis checks whether an exact proposed action has authority to execute.
Public sources checked . Our architectural assessment follows the scope of the sources below. Send a correction; accepted corrections update this date.
When is Snyk Agent Scan the better choice?
- You need to discover installed agent components.
- You need to inspect MCP servers and skills for security threats.
- You are evaluating prompt injection or malicious agent supply-chain content.
- Scan findings are the artifact your current workflow needs.
Basis: Snyk Agent Scan repository
What changes at the execution boundary?
| Dimension | Decionis | Snyk Agent Scan |
|---|---|---|
| Control boundary | One exact action, with authority re-evaluated immediately before commit. | Snyk's current Agent Scan repository covers agents, MCP servers and skills, including prompt injection, sensitive data handling and malicious payloads. |
| Evidence | Signed Decision Dossier; verify the covered artifacts with the appropriate public keys, without an account. | The repository describes scan output and findings, and distinguishes experimental CLI output from supported enterprise integrations. This comparison is scoped to Agent Scan, not the whole Snyk portfolio. |
| Deployment responsibility | The integrating host must isolate credentials, prevent bypass and enforce the decision. | Evaluate the chosen deployment and its enforcement boundary; a product category is not evidence of a specific installation. |
| Procurement posture | Ed25519-signed Decision Dossiers · single-use execution grants. These pages compare engineering and architecture, not certifications; current audit status is on the Trust Center. | Obtain current assurance documents and check the service and deployment they cover. |
Decionis contract: enforce-and-bind, claim-before-commit and finalize. Signature validity is separate from execution eligibility and downstream effect confirmation.
Can these controls work together?
Scan components and govern consequential calls. Decionis is not a replacement for component-security research or scanning. Follow Snyk's isolation guidance when a scan starts a server.

This preloaded dossier has real Ed25519 signatures over synthetic data from the public Agent-Safe corpus. Its test key is deliberately public. It demonstrates verification and tamper detection; it is not customer evidence, a production signature, or permission to execute.

After the page or files load, the signature checks need no network. Installing the CLI may require a connection. Valid signatures establish integrity relative to the selected key, not whether the original facts were true.
