Google Open-Sources Mantis: A Modular Skills Toolkit That Lets Coding Agents Find, Reproduce and Patch Vulnerabilities

AnnouncementProductSep 9, 2026

Google has open-sourced Mantis, an Apache 2.0 toolkit of security review skills that coding agents use to find, reproduce, patch, and re-attack vulnerabilities. The skills run with Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI, or the Google ADK, chaining slash commands through sandboxed reproduction and risk scoring. Google says it targets sub-7 percent true-positive rates in naive AI code scanning and cuts token overhead by over 85 percent. Mantis is suited for local evaluation but not yet production use.
