# 🛡️ GuardRails Security Scanner (Python)

**AI-powered security scanner for modern development workflows**

GuardRails uses advanced AI (Gemini) to detect security vulnerabilities in your code, providing detailed explanations and fix suggestions.

## 🚀 Quick Start

```bash
# Install from PyPI
pip install guardrails-security

# Or install from source
pip install git+https://github.com/guardrails/guardrails-security.git

# Scan your code
guardrails scan .

# Initialize in your project
guardrails init
```

## 📋 Features

- ✅ **AI-Powered Analysis** - Uses Gemini AI for intelligent vulnerability detection
- ✅ **Multi-Language Support** - Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, PHP, Ruby, C#
- ✅ **Detailed Fix Suggestions** - Get specific code fixes for each vulnerability
- ✅ **CI/CD Integration** - Easy integration with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.
- ✅ **Git Hooks** - Automatic scanning before commits
- ✅ **Multiple Output Formats** - Text, JSON, table formats
- ✅ **Configurable** - Customize scan rules and ignore patterns

## 🔧 Installation

### From PyPI (Recommended)
```bash
pip install guardrails-security
```

### From Source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/guardrails/guardrails-security.git
cd guardrails-security
pip install -e .
```

### Development Installation
```bash
git clone https://github.com/guardrails/guardrails-security.git
cd guardrails-security
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

## 📖 Usage

### Basic Scanning

```bash
# Scan current directory
guardrails scan .

# Scan specific file
guardrails scan app.py

# Scan with JSON output
guardrails scan . --format json

# Save report to file
guardrails scan . --output security-report.json
```

### CI/CD Integration

```bash
# Fail build on critical issues
guardrails scan . --fail-on-critical

# Generate JSON report for CI
guardrails scan . --format json --output guardrails-report.json
```

### Git Hooks

```bash
# Install pre-commit hook
guardrails install-hook

# Install hook that blocks commits on critical issues
guardrails install-hook --fail-on-critical
```

### Project Initialization

```bash
# Initialize GuardRails in your project
guardrails init
```

This creates:
- `guardrails.config.json` - Configuration file
- `.guardrailsignore` - Ignore patterns
- Updates `requirements.txt` if it exists

## ⚙️ Configuration

Create a `guardrails.config.json` file:

```json
{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "scan": {
    "extensions": [".py", ".js", ".ts", ".jsx", ".tsx", ".java", ".go"],
    "ignore": ["node_modules/**", ".git/**", "dist/**", "build/**"],
    "failOnCritical": true
  },
  "ci": {
    "enabled": true,
    "output": "guardrails-report.json"
  }
}
```

## 🔗 CI/CD Integration

### GitHub Actions

```yaml
name: Security Scan

jobs:
  security:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Setup Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v2
        with:
          python-version: '3.9'
      - name: Install GuardRails
        run: pip install guardrails-security
      - name: Run Security Scan
        run: guardrails scan . --fail-on-critical
```

### GitLab CI

```yaml
security_scan:
  stage: test
  image: python:3.9
  script:
    - pip install guardrails-security
    - guardrails scan . --format json --output guardrails-report.json
  artifacts:
    reports:
      junit: guardrails-report.json
```

### Makefile Integration

```makefile
