Get 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_exposure
Check 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_abuse
Check if a package or agent has been reported to the KYA abuse database. Returns whether abuse has been reported and any details.
monitor_status
Check if an MCP package is under continuous monitoring and get its scan history. Shows current score, risk level, and recent changes.
check_my_repo
Inspect 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_setup
Generate 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_gate
Write 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.
