# Run controlled cybersecurity agent workflows with CAI

Use CAI to run research and bug-bounty-oriented security agents with model routing, tool integrations, tracing, MCP support, and human oversight.

## Prerequisites

Python, cai-framework, model provider credentials, optional Docker and MCP servers

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- pip install cai-framework
- brew update && \
- brew install git python@3.12
- #build and run docker compose Build takes around 20 min.

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- Explord the Cybersecurity of Humanoid Robots with CAI and identified new attack vectors showing how it (a) operates simultaneously as a covert surveillance node and (b) can be purposed as an active cyber operations pl...
- # Fetch Python 3.12
- So as an alternative you can use the docker compose file in the dockerized folder instead. This also works from within wsl if docker is installed.
