scan_artifact

Deterministically analyze a package, repo, AI model, skill, or file for malicious behavior (credential theft, data exfiltration, obfuscation, prompt injection aimed at the agent, install scripts, model files that run code on load) and return a verdict (malicious, flagged, clear, error) with the exact evidence and a hash of what was scanned. Metered: present an X-API-Key holding credits. If you hold a wallet instead of an account, pay per call over x402 at POST https://lazaretto.dev/v1/scan ($0.03 USDC on Base, no signup). A free key with a daily allowance is available at POST https://lazaretto.dev/v1/trial. For checks that are always free, use check_lockfile or known_bad_lookup.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
refNoThe locator: an npm spec (name@version), a PyPI spec (name==version), a GitHub repo URL, a Hugging Face model id (org/name, org/name@revision, or its huggingface.co URL), a ClawHub skill id, or a raw file URL. Omit for type=inline.
nameNoFilename for type=inline, for example SKILL.md or index.js. Which rules run depends on the kind of file, so pass the real name when you have it; without it the kind is inferred from the content.
typeYesWhat kind of artifact ref points at.
depthNolookup = known-bad match only; full = full behavioral analysis.full
contentNoRaw file content, required when type=inline.

  7. First observed

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations only declare safety/open-world hints; the description adds the crucial behavioral context: it is metered, requires an X-API-Key with credits, offers a pay-per-call x402 path and a free trial, and returns a hash plus exact evidence. That is substantial information beyond the structured fields. The apparent tension between 'deterministically' and idempotentHint=false is explained by per-call metering, not a real contradiction.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the core action and verdict outputs, then payment mechanics and alternatives. Slightly dense with URLs and pricing details, but each sentence serves a decision the caller must make.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Output schema exists, and the description still enumerates verdict values and evidence output. Payment and auth prerequisites, plus free fallbacks, are covered, leaving nothing an agent needs in order to invoke it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptive enums, so the schema already carries parameter meaning; the description only corroborates the artifact-type range. Baseline 3 applies since the description adds little syntax or format detail beyond what the schema documents.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (analyze) plus the artifact kinds it covers and the verdict set it returns, so an agent knows exactly what it gets back. It also names sibling tools (check_lockfile, known_bad_lookup) as the free alternatives, which differentiates it from other scan-style tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicit routing rules: use this when a metered full scan is warranted, use check_lockfile or known_bad_lookup for always-free checks, use the trial endpoint or x402 if you lack an account. When-to-use, when-not-to-use, and alternatives are all present.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
