The vulnerability detection agent Apr 2026 • Claude Agent SDK Cybersecurity Build a vulnerability-discovery agent with the Claude Agent SDK that threat-models a C target, hunts memory-safety bugs with built-in file tools, and triages findings into a structured report.

This cookbook demonstrates building a vulnerability-discovery agent using the Claude Agent SDK that automatically threat-models C source code, hunts memory-safety bugs using built-in file tools (Read, Grep, Glob), and generates structured security reports. The agent operates in a multi-turn session with a bootstrap threat-modeling phase, an interview phase for owner input, and automated vulnerability finding and triage loops. The approach reduces false positives compared to traditional static analyzers by using Claude's reasoning to identify high-confidence memory-safety issues in a read-only sandbox environment.
