## 💡 Implementation Notes
### Tools to Leverage
- **Nuclei** - Already integrated, add custom templates
- **mitmproxy** - Just integrated, use for analysis
- **GitHub Tools** - TruffleHog (secrets), Semgrep (SAST)
- **Specialized Tools** - CORScanner, jwt_tool, S3Scanner
### Integration Strategy
1. Start with existing tool wrappers (nuclei, custom scripts)
2. Add dedicated Python implementations for complex logic
3. Use MCP tool pattern already established
4. Maintain scope validation for all tools
5. Generate structured output for reporting
### Quick Implementation Tips
- Many of these can use nuclei templates
- CORS/Headers can be single HTTP requests
- S3 scanner can use boto3
- JWT can use python-jose
- Secrets can use regex + truffleHog
Would you like me to implement any of these tools? I'd recommend starting with **Phase 1 (Quick Wins)** as they provide immediate value with minimal effort!
