Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|

| health_checkA | Check the health of the CVE MCP server: NVD connectivity, KEV catalog status, cache, risk scoring version, tool manifest hash, and which optional API keys are configured (names only — never the key values). Note: This tool pings NVD without rate limiting — do not call it in a loop. |
| check_ip_reputationA | Check an IP address reputation via AbuseIPDB and GreyNoise Community. Returns abuse confidence score, country, ISP, Tor status, and noise classification. Args: ip: IPv4 or IPv6 address to check (e.g. 1.2.3.4 or 2001:db8::1) |

| passive_dns_lookupA | Query CIRCL Passive DNS for historical DNS resolutions of an IP or domain. Shows what hostnames have resolved to this IP, or what IPs a domain has pointed to. Args: ip_or_domain: IPv4/IPv6 address or domain name to query |
| shodan_host_lookupA | Look up a host on Shodan: open ports, running services, OS, CVEs on the host. Requires SHODAN_KEY environment variable. Args: ip: IPv4 address to look up (e.g. 8.8.8.8) |
| lookup_file_hashB | Look up a file hash (MD5/SHA1/SHA256) against MalwareBazaar and VirusTotal. Returns malware family, detection stats, and file metadata. Args: hash_str: MD5 (32 hex), SHA1 (40 hex), or SHA256 (64 hex) hash |
| check_url_safetyA | Check a URL or domain for malicious activity via URLScan.io. Returns scan verdicts, malicious flag, score, and categories. Args: url_or_domain: URL (https://example.com/path) or bare domain (example.com) |
| lookup_malware_familyA | Look up an IOC (IP, domain, URL, or hash) against ThreatFox for malware family attribution. Returns confidence level, IOC type, and threat classification. Args: ioc: Indicator of Compromise — IP address, domain, URL, MD5/SHA256 hash |
| check_ransomware_intelA | Check if a Bitcoin address is associated with a known ransomware family using the Ransomwhere database. Args: bitcoin_address: Bitcoin wallet address to look up (P2PKH, P2SH, or bech32) |
| get_vendor_advisoryA | Fetch vendor security advisories for a CVE from Microsoft (MSRC), Red Hat, and Ubuntu. Shows patch availability and affected products. Args: cve_id: CVE identifier (e.g. CVE-2021-44228) |
| check_exploit_availabilityA | Search GitHub for public proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit repositories for a CVE. Results are sorted by star count to surface the most credible exploits first. Args: cve_id: CVE identifier (e.g. CVE-2021-44228) |
| get_attack_mappingA | Map a CVE to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and associated threat groups. Downloads the ATT&CK dataset lazily (cached 24h). Searches technique descriptions and references for the CVE ID. Args: cve_id: CVE identifier (e.g. CVE-2021-44228) |
| get_cve_timelineA | Build a complete CVE lifecycle timeline: NVD publication date, EPSS score history, CISA KEV addition date, patch lag, and exploit window estimation. Args: cve_id: CVE identifier (e.g. CVE-2021-44228) |
| scan_dependenciesA | Bulk scan application dependencies for known CVEs via OSV.dev. Supports requirements.txt (PyPI), package.json (npm), pom.xml (Maven), or generic 'name:ecosystem:version' lines. Returns only vulnerable packages. Args: dependency_list: Raw contents of requirements.txt, package.json, pom.xml, or newline-separated 'name:ecosystem:version' entries. Max 1000 packages per call. |
| scan_container_packagesA | Scan container image packages (Alpine, Debian, Ubuntu OS packages) for known CVEs via OSV.dev. Input should be 'name:ecosystem:version' lines, one package per line, e.g. from 'apk info -v' or 'dpkg -l' output. Supported ecosystems: Alpine, Debian, Ubuntu, and any OSV-supported ecosystem. Args: packages: Newline-separated 'name:ecosystem:version' entries. Example: openssl:Alpine:3.0.7-r0 musl:Alpine:1.2.4_r2 libssl3:Debian:3.0.7-1 |
| scan_repo_secretsA | Search GitHub public repositories for potential exposed credentials or secrets related to a search term (CVE ID, tool name, or keyword). Requires GITHUB_TOKEN for best results. For security research only. Args: search_term: CVE ID, tool name, or keyword to search for in public repo files (e.g. CVE-2024-1234, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, log4j) |
| check_poc_existsB | Search for proof-of-concept exploits across GitHub, Exploit-DB, and Nuclei templates. |
| calculate_risk_scoreB | Calculate a composite 0-100 risk score using CVSS, EPSS, KEV, and PoC data. |
| generate_vuln_reportC | Generate a vulnerability report in executive, technical, or full format. |
| compare_cvesB | Compare multiple CVEs by risk score and generate a patch priority ranking. |
| triage_cveA | One-call CVE triage orchestrator (v0.2.0). Fans out the relevant upstream sources concurrently — NVD (with a transparent VulnCheck NVD++ fallback when NVD fails), EPSS, the CISA KEV catalog, and (for depth != "quick") public PoC/exploit discovery — then computes the composite risk score (KEV hard-override applies: a KEV-listed CVE is always CRITICAL with score >= 76). For depth == "deep" it additionally emits an SSVC v2 gated decision (Act / Attend / Track* / Track). Args: cve_id: CVE identifier (e.g. CVE-2021-44228). depth: "quick" — NVD + EPSS + KEV (no PoC search; fastest), "standard" — adds PoC/exploit discovery (default), "deep" — adds an SSVC v2 qualitative decision. |
