  Discover GCP-hosted AI agent and MCP-relevant assets from the operator's
  environment, emit canonical agent-bom inventory JSON, and scan it without

  inventory Vertex AI, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, GKE, or agentic GCP
  infrastructure as canonical inventory.

# agent-bom-discover-gcp

Use this skill to collect GCP AI and workload inventory as schema-valid
agent-bom inventory. Default to discover-only: write JSON to an
operator-selected path and stop.

## Guardrails

- Use only operator-approved projects and read-only credentials.
- Do not request or display service account private keys, OAuth refresh tokens,
  or bearer tokens.
- Do not modify GCP resources. This workflow is discovery-only.
- Write inventory only to a path the operator chose.
- Treat AI-generated prose as non-authoritative; schema-validated inventory JSON
  is the evidence.

## Workflow

```bash
python examples/operator_pull/gcp_inventory_adapter.py \
  --project "$GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT" \
  --region us-central1 \
  --source gcp-skill-invoked \
  --discovery-method skill_invoked_pull \
  --output gcp-inventory.json
```

Scan only when the operator asks for findings:

```bash
agent-bom agents --inventory gcp-inventory.json --format json --output agent-bom-gcp-findings.json
```

## Evidence Contract

The emitted inventory carries `discovery_provenance.source_type:
skill_invoked_pull`, `observed_via: skill_invoked_pull, gcp_sdk`, sanitized
`metadata.permissions_used`, and redacted credential material. If schema
validation fails, stop and fix the inventory instead of scanning a best-effort
summary.
