Connect Auditor
A plain-English safety dashboard for non-technical small business owners using AI agents and no-code automation, telling them which integrations are safe to wire up before their AI installs them on their behalf.
Non-technical small business owners using AI automation tools (Zapier, Make, n8n, ChatGPT Actions) who worry about what those tools install
- Connect Score: plain-English safety grade (Green/Yellow/Red) for every AI integration, MCP server, or app your agent proposes to wire up
- Auto-block rules: pre-set policies that block any tool exfiltrating data, requesting browser permissions, or running hidden scripts
- Vendor evidence pack: generates a one-page PDF showing clients, insurers, or auditors that your AI tools passed supply-chain review
- Weekly digest: every Monday, a one-page plain-English summary of what your AI agents connected to or installed last week
Pkgxray's existence and the cited Sonatype 2025 figure of 454,648 newly identified malicious packages show the threat is real and accelerating; AI agents install at machine speed with no human in the loop, and SMBs are adopting these tools fastest while being least equipped to vet them.
58% of US small businesses now use generative AI and SMBs spent $1.1T on IT in 2025 with cybersecurity as a top category, but CrowdStrike notes SMBs still have major gaps in execution and budget — real but not yet fully recognized pain.No-Code AI Agents Go Mainstream: Zapier, Make, and n8n Win the SMB Market ↗The State of SMB Cybersecurity in 2025 ↗
Closest analogs (pkgxray, Socket, Snyk, HackAgent) are CLI/dev-tools aimed at developers and security researchers; none deliver a plain-English SMB dashboard for AI-agent-installed integrations.pkgxray: Inspect What Gets Installed, Not What Executes ↗Socket vs Snyk - Socket ↗HackAgent - AISecurityLab/hackagent ↗
SMBs do spend on IT (~$325–425/employee/month, 4–7% of revenue) but CrowdStrike shows cybersecurity execution/budget gaps; pkgxray itself is open-source and free, suggesting SMB willingness-to-pay for this specific layer is unproven and likely needs bundling or B2B2C via automation platforms.Canadian SMB IT Budget 2026: Real Benchmarks ↗48 SMB IT Spending Statistics for 2026 ↗
Sonatype identified 454,648 new malicious packages in 2025 (+75% YoY), GlassWorm hit 400+ dev tools in a single week, and Andrew Nesbitt notes agents 'install and propagate faster than any human can review' — threat is structurally accelerating with AI adoption.Software Supply Chain Risks | 2026 Sonatype Report ↗GlassWorm Hits 400+ Dev Tools ↗Package Security Defenses for AI Agents ↗
Core scanning logic already exists in pkgxray/Socket; main build is a plain-English verdict layer plus integrations to Zapier/Make/n8n/ChatGPT Actions — multi-platform plumbing and SMB-friendly UX add meaningful but not prohibitive scope.pkgxray on GitHub ↗
