Supply Chain Security (AI)

Reviewed 9 April 2026 Canonical definition

AI supply chain security is the practice of verifying the integrity and trustworthiness of every component in an AI agent's dependency chain — including foundation models, MCP servers, tool integrations, third-party APIs, and open-source libraries. A compromised component anywhere in the chain can introduce vulnerabilities that propagate into production agent behaviour.
