Category & Scope

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Kakunin MCP Tools (3)

verify_agent_scope

Check whether this agent is authorised to perform an action before executing it. Verifies the active X.509 certificate, permitted_actions scope, financial limits, and revocation status.

check_risk_score

Retrieve the agent's rolling 30-day risk score, band (`low`/`medium`/`high`), drift trend, and actionable guidance. No input required.

audit_log_append

Append a behavioral event to the agent's immutable audit log. Returns risk score + transaction ID. Events scoring ≥ 0.85 auto-trigger a certificate revocation check.

Pqc Tools Tools (6)

Detects vulnerable crypto in 14+ languages and infrastructure configs

Outputs SARIF, JSON, CBOM, evidence, and OpenVEX reports
