  Validate and ingest operator-pushed agent-bom inventory JSON from AWS, Azure,
  GCP, Snowflake, CMDB, or endpoint collectors. Use when a user has canonical
  inventory JSON and wants local findings, graph, policy, provenance, or
  auditor-ready exports without giving agent-bom direct cloud credentials.

  Requires Python 3.11+ and agent-bom 0.84.4+. Inventory must conform to the
  packaged inventory.schema.json contract.

# agent-bom-ingest

Use this skill when the operator already produced canonical inventory JSON with
an operator-pull adapter, endpoint collector, CMDB export, or AI-agent workflow.
The default path is local validation plus local scan/export.

## Guardrails

- Validate inventory with the packaged schema before treating it as evidence.
- Require `discovery_provenance` and `permissions_used` where the source claims
  cloud/operator-pushed discovery.
- Require a trustworthy `discovery_provenance.source_type` such as
  `operator_pushed_inventory` or `skill_invoked_pull`; do not infer it from
  prose.
- Do not invent provenance, permissions, cloud scopes, or credential posture.
- Do not push to a control plane unless the operator provides the destination
  URL and auth method explicitly.
- Do not print raw tokens, URL credentials, private keys, or env var values.

## Workflow

Validate first:

```bash
agent-bom mcp validate inventory.json
```

Scan locally:

```bash
agent-bom agents --inventory inventory.json --format json --output agent-bom-findings.json
```

Choose output by consumer:

- SARIF for CI/code-scanning gates
- JSON for graph, API, and automation
- HTML or Markdown for human review
- CycloneDX/SPDX for SBOM consumers

## Evidence Contract

Valid inventory preserves `discovery_provenance`, `permissions_used`,
`cloud_origin`, redaction state, package identity, server identity, tools, and
security intelligence. If the inventory is malformed or missing required trust
fields, stop and ask the operator to regenerate it rather than scanning a
best-effort summary.
