Use verbosity='minimal' for summary only, 'compact' (default) for fix list, 'full' for complete fixed file content.record_security_outcomeRecord aggregate remediation outcomes after reviewing scanner findings. Sends counts only; never sends code, findings, paths, or rule IDs.list_security_rulesList all available security fix templates and their descriptionscheck_packageCheck if a package name is legitimate or potentially hallucinated (AI-invented)scan_packagesScan code for package imports and check for hallucinated (AI-invented) packages. Use verbosity='minimal' for counts, 'compact' (default) for flagged packages, 'full' for all details.list_package_statsList statistics about loaded package lists for hallucination detectionscan_agent_promptScan a prompt for malicious intent. Returns BLOCK/WARN/LOG/ALLOW. Use verbosity='minimal' for action only, 'compact' (default) for findings, 'full' for audit details.scan_git_diffScan git diff for new security vulnerabilities.
