An AI bill of materials turns a repository into a searchable inventory of models, datasets and agents.

Proof1 independent outlet

Key points

  • Javier Garza demonstrates the workflow from a CLI scan to a visual dashboard, then asks it which models the project uses.
  • That inventory anchors a broader security problem: teams cannot assess the AI components they do not know are there.
  • The workshop connects shadow AI to prompt injection, supply chain risk, sensitive information disclosure and excessive agency, using Gandalf challenges and malicious instructions embedded in external content to show how an application's intended rules can be bypassed.
  • Garza works through defenses at several layers.
