Google Threat Intelligence MCP Server

search_malware_families

Query malware families in Google Threat Intelligence and retrieve sorted collections of threats, with optional limit and ordering.

Instructions

Search malware families in the Google Threat Intelligence platform.

Malware families are modeled as collections. Once you get collections from this tool, you can use get_collection_report to fetch the full reports and their relationships.

You can use order_by to sort the results by: "relevance", "creation_date". You can use the sign "+" to make it order ascending, or "-" to make it descending. By default is "relevance-"

Args: query (required): Search query to find threats. limit: Limit the number of threats to retrieve. 10 by default. order_by: Order results by the given order key. "relevance-" by default.

Returns: List of collections, aka threats.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations given. Description explains output (list of collections) and basic behavior, but lacks disclosure of rate limits, authentication details beyond api_key parameter, or state changes.

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?

Reasonably concise with structured args list. Could be slightly shorter, but overall efficient.

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?

For a search tool with output schema available, it covers purpose, next steps, and ordering. Missing api_key info lowers completeness slightly.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Describes query, limit, order_by with defaults and meanings, but api_key parameter is in schema and not mentioned. With 0% schema coverage, this omission is significant.

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?

Clearly states it searches malware families in the GTI platform, explaining they are collections. Distinguishes from siblings like search_threats by specifying the exact resource.

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?

Provides clear guidance on usage: explains ordering options, defaults, and suggests using get_collection_report after. Does not explicitly mention when not to use, but context is adequate.

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