Agent Security Scanner MCP tools 23
scan_securityScan a file for security vulnerabilities. Use verbosity='minimal' for counts only (~50 tokens), 'compact' (default) for actionable info (~200 tokens), 'full' for complete metadata.fix_securityScan a file and return fixes. 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. Only reports issues on changed lines. Use for PR reviews.scan_projectScan an entire directory for security vulnerabilities with .gitignore support and security grading. Use verbosity='minimal' for grade + counts, 'compact' (default) for top issues, 'full' for all details.scan_agent_actionPre-execution security check for agent actions (bash, file_write, file_read, http_request, file_delete, cron, process_spawn, git, docker). Returns ALLOW/WARN/BLOCK.scan_mcp_serverScan an MCP server's source code for security vulnerabilities: overly broad permissions, missing input validation, data exfiltration, insecure patterns. Returns grade (A-F) and recommendations.- +11 more on the listing page

scan_packageScan an npm package for MCP security issues. Checks install scripts, prompt injection patterns, suspicious URLs, source code patterns, dependency count, metadata completeness, and publisher provenance. Returns score (0-100), risk level, and detailed findings.get_verdictGet a trust verdict for an MCP package: allow, warn, or block. Based on scan findings (score and severity). Also reports monitoring status and publisher posture. Use this before installing or connecting to an MCP server.check_exposureCheck which monitored MCP servers depend on a given package. Use this during incident response to find blast radius. Example: 'which MCP servers use axios?'check_abuseCheck if a package or agent has been reported to the KYA abuse database. Returns whether abuse has been reported and any details.monitor_statusCheck if an MCP package is under continuous monitoring and get its scan history. Shows current score, risk level, and recent changes.check_my_repoInspect the current repo for MCP dependencies, look up AgentScore verdicts for each package, and summarise what should be gated in CI. Use this when a developer wants to understand all MCP packages in a repo instead of scanning one package at a time.generate_policy_gate_setupGenerate the exact GitHub Actions workflow needed to enforce AgentScore Policy Gate for a repo. Detects MCP dependencies locally and returns the OIDC-based YAML needed for setup. No API key or secret is required.install_policy_gateWrite the AgentScore Policy Gate workflow file to this repo. Creates .github/workflows/agentscore-policy-gate.yml with OIDC authentication (no API key needed). Detects MCP dependencies and includes them in the workflow. The gate will auto-provision the repo on first push.
