history

Project history and usage

Bagel is a BoostSecurity CLI for inventorying security-relevant metadata on developer workstations. It focuses on supply-chain and endpoint posture signals such as tool configuration, risky settings, and the locations of secrets without collecting secret values.

Project history

The boostsecurityio/bagel GitHub repository was created in February 2026, and its first v0.1.0 release followed the next day. The README describes it as a cross-platform CLI for macOS, Linux, and Windows that inspects developer machines and outputs structured JSON reports.

From its first public versions, Bagel documented a privacy-first boundary: metadata about paths, permissions, timestamps, key types, and config flags may be reported, but secret payloads are not written or exfiltrated. The README also positions Bagel as the open-source counterpart or lightweight lead-in to BoostSecurity's enterprise Developer Endpoint Protection product.

Adoption history

Bagel's public adoption history is short because the repository and releases began in 2026. The batch metadata already shows Homebrew, Debian, and Ubuntu packaging, which suggests upstream wanted package-manager distribution quickly for workstation and CI use.

GitHub releases progressed from v0.1.0 in February 2026 to v0.7.1 in June 2026, indicating rapid early iteration around probes, detectors, output, and packaging.

How it is used

Typical usage is bagel scan, producing JSON by default or table output for quick review. The README documents flags for output path, strict mode, cache rebuilds, progress display, verbose logging, config path, and disabling version checks.

Bagel checks areas such as Git, SSH, npm, environment variables, shell history, cloud credentials, JetBrains IDEs, GitHub CLI, and AI CLI tools. Security teams can use --strict as a CI gate when findings are present.

Why package nerds care

Bagel is significant as an early example of developer-workstation posture scanning being packaged like a normal CLI. Instead of requiring an agent rollout, it can be installed with Homebrew or OS packages and run locally or in automation.

For package maintainers, its interesting boundary is privacy: the package scans sensitive locations but promises metadata-only output, making documentation and trust signals especially important.

Timeline

2026-02: GitHub repository created and v0.1.0 released.
2026-03: v0.3.0 and v0.5.0 releases published during early iteration.
2026-06: v0.7.1 released.

Related projects

Bagel is related to BoostSecurity Developer Endpoint Protection, which the README describes as the enterprise-grade scale-out product.
It is adjacent to secret scanners, SSH and Git hardening tools, cloud credential auditors, and developer endpoint inventory agents.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
