check_tls_config

Scan Go source files for TLS configuration violations like InsecureSkipVerify, weak MinVersion, and prohibited cipher suites. Maps findings to PCI DSS 4.2.1.

Instructions

Scan Go source files for TLS configuration violations: InsecureSkipVerify, weak MinVersion (below TLS 1.2), missing MinVersion, and prohibited cipher suites (RC4, 3DES, NULL). Default: returns response_shape "summary" with by_severity counts, a capped by_rule histogram (top 10 + more_rules), and top 3 per severity findings - plus a pagination.next_cursor for drill-down. Prefer this for mixed queries; min_severity / rule_filter drop to response_shape "flat" but still carry summary.by_severity + summary.by_rule for full-scan context. Follow the cursor for the full paginated list. Use include_tests / exclude_patterns / min_severity / rule_filter for a filtered flat response. Maps findings to PCI DSS 4.2.1.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pathYesrequired,Path to the Go project directory to scan for TLS configuration violations
exclude_patternsNoOptional glob patterns to exclude. Supports directory patterns (vendor/) and file globs (*.pb.go). Default: vendor/ generated/ *.pb.go testdata/ mocks/
include_testsNoInclude _test.go files in scan results. Default false excludes test files per industry SAST consensus
include_untrackedNoScan all files including .gitignored. Default false scans only git-tracked files
cursorNoOpaque cursor token from a prior check_tls_config response. When set resumes pagination from the stored session cache (10-minute TTL). Leave empty for a fresh scan.
limitNoMaximum number of findings to return per call. Default 0 (summary-first response with next_cursor). To fetch more findings than fit in one response, follow next_cursor; do NOT raise this value to fetch all at once (server caps at the per-tool page size and rejects with LIMIT_EXCEEDS_PAGE_SIZE).
min_severityNoFilter by minimum severity (CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW/INFO). Setting this forces the flat response shape.
rule_filterNoFilter by rule ID, comma list or /regex/. Setting this forces the flat response shape.

Behavior5/5

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

No annotations provided, so description covers all behaviors: default response shape, pagination via cursor (10-minute TTL), server caps on limit, and response shape forced by filters. This is thorough for a security scanning tool.

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?

The description is long but well-structured: starts with purpose, then details defaults and behaviors, then usage guidance. Every sentence provides necessary information, though it could be slightly more concise.

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?

Given 8 parameters, no annotations, and an output schema, the description fully covers all aspects: scanning behavior, filtering, pagination, response shapes, and PCI DSS mapping. It leaves no significant gaps.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, but description adds substantial value: explains default exclusion patterns, cursor behavior, limit cap, and how min_severity/rule_filter change the response shape. This goes well beyond the schema's basic descriptions.

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 scans Go source files for TLS configuration violations, listing specific issues. It is distinct from sibling tools like check_auth_strength or check_data_retention, which target different compliance areas.

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?

Gives clear guidance on when to use the default summary mode vs flat response with filters, and explains that limit should not be raised arbitrarily. However, it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools or state when not to use this tool.

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