wireshark_security_audit

Analyze a pcap file with eight automated phases to detect threats, credential exposure, port scans, and protocol anomalies, producing a structured security report with risk scoring.

Instructions

[Agent] One-call comprehensive security audit.

Automatically runs 8 analysis phases internally and returns a structured security report with risk scoring. No manual tool-chaining needed.

Phases: File summary → Protocol overview → Threat intelligence (URLhaus) → Credential exposure → Port scan detection → DNS anomaly detection → Cleartext protocol usage → Protocol anomalies (Expert Info)

Args: pcap_file: Path to capture file

Returns: Complete security audit report with risk level, findings, and recommendations.

Example: wireshark_security_audit("suspicious_traffic.pcap")

Behavior3/5

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

Lists internal phases and returns a structured report, but does not disclose potential side effects, permissions, or resource usage beyond returning output.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Concise and well-structured with a summary, phase list, args, returns, and example; no wasted words.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Covers the tool's purpose, phases, parameter, and return overview adequately for a complex tool with a single parameter and output schema.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Adds meaningful description ('Path to capture file') to the lone parameter, compensating for 0% schema coverage.

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?

The description clearly states the tool performs a one-call comprehensive security audit with 8 phases, distinguishing it from more specialized sibling tools.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Implicitly guides use for comprehensive audits and mentions no manual chaining needed, but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternative recommendations.

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