使用指南
基本用法
服务器运行后,您可以通过 AI 助手或开发环境与其交互。使用方法如下:
使用上述安装方法之一启动服务器
配置您的 AI 助手(Claude Desktop、Cursor、Windsurf、Cline、Continue、Zed 等)以使用服务器
使用自然语言查询网络信息

搜索语法指南
搜索范围涵盖设备(IPv4、IPv6)和网站(域)。
当输入搜索字符串时,系统将以“全局”模式匹配关键词,包括HTTP、SSH、FTP等各种协议的内容(例如HTTP/HTTPS协议头、正文、SSL、标题和其他协议横幅)。
搜索字符串不区分大小写,并将进行分段匹配(搜索结果页面提供“分段”测试功能)。使用 == 进行搜索时,会强制使用严格的语法进行精确区分大小写的匹配。
请使用引号括起搜索字符串(例如,“Cisco System”或“Cisco System”)。如果搜索字符串包含引号,请使用转义符,例如,“a”b。如果搜索字符串包含括号,请使用转义符,例如 portinfo()。
您可以在prompts.py中看到更详细的搜索语法规则。

Search Syntax Guide
Search Scope covers devices (IPv4, IPv6) and websites (domains).
When entering a search string, the system will match keywords in "global" mode, including content from various protocols such as HTTP, SSH, FTP, etc. (e.g., HTTP/HTTPS protocol headers, body, SSL, title, and other protocol banners).
Search strings are case-insensitive and will be segmented for matching (the search results page provides a " segmentation" test feature). When using == for search, it enforces exact case-sensitive matching with strict syntax.
Please use quotes for search strings (e.g., "Cisco System" or 'Cisco System'). If the search string contains quotes, use the escape character, e.g.,"a"b". If the search string contains parentheses, use the escape character, e.g., portinfo().
The logical operators of the syntax:
=, Search for assets containing keywords title="knownsec" Search for websites with titles containing Knownsec's assets
==, Accurate search, indicating a complete match of keywords (case sensitive), can search for data with empty values title=="knownsec" Precise search, which means exact match of keywords (case sensitive), and can search for data with empty values Search for assets with the website title "Knownsec"
||, Enter "||" in the search box to indicate the logical operation of "or" service="ssh" || service="http" Search for SSH or HTTP data
&&, Enter "&&" in the search box to indicate the logical operation of "and" device="router" && after="2020-01-01" Search for routers after Jan 1, 2020
!=, Enter "!=" in the search box to indicate the logical operation of "not" country="US" && subdivisions!="new york" Search for data in united states excluding new york
(), Enter "()" in the search box to indicate the logical operation of "priority processing" (country="US" && port!=80) || (country="US" && title!="404 Not Found") Search excluding port 80 in US or "404 not found" in the US

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It thoroughly explains search behavior (case-insensitivity, exact matching, operators, scopes), but omits details on rate limits, authentication, or side effects. For a read-like search tool, it is largely transparent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely long (multiple paragraphs of syntax manual), which is not concise. It lacks front-loading of key information and would overwhelm an AI agent.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite detailed search syntax, the description lacks information on return format, pagination behavior beyond parameters, error handling, and output interpretation. With a complex tool and no output schema, more context is needed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds search syntax knowledge but does not provide additional meaning for the parameters themselves (e.g., how to construct qbase64 or interpret fields).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states that the tool searches for devices and websites on ZoomEye, and provides extensive search syntax. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools (vuldb tools) by focusing on asset search.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description includes many search examples and syntax rules, implying usage scenarios, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
zoomeye_vuldb_by_idC
Search for detailed vulnerability information by vulnerability ID and return formatted results.
Use this tool to retrieve comprehensive security vulnerability details from the vulnerability
database using a vulnerability identifier (CVE, CNVD, CNNVD). Results include:| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cve_id | Yes | A valid vulnerability identifier, eg: CVE-XXXX-XXXX,CNVD-XXXX-XXXX,CNNVD-XXXX-XXXX |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It indicates a read-only operation (search/retrieve), but fails to describe output format, pagination, rate limits, or any side effects. The abrupt end ('Results include:') leaves the agent guessing what the tool returns, which is a significant gap for transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short, but it is incomplete, ending with 'Results include:' without any continuation. This disrupts the structure and leaves the description unfinished. Every sentence should be complete and purposeful, and this one fails to deliver its intended content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description should explain the return values comprehensively. It starts listing results but cuts off, providing zero information about what the formatted results contain. This is a major omission for a tool that only has one parameter and no other documentation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% coverage, with the parameter 'cve_id' described and examples given. The description repeats this information without adding substantial new meaning. Baseline is 3, and since no extra semantics are provided, the score remains at 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Search for detailed vulnerability information by vulnerability ID', specifying the verb and resource. It lists the accepted ID formats (CVE, CNVD, CNNVD), which helps the agent understand the tool's scope. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'zoomeye_search' or 'zoomeye_vuldb_by_keyword', and the incomplete sentence 'Results include:' slightly reduces clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description says 'Use this tool to retrieve...' but provides no guidance on when to use it versus alternatives, such as the sibling tool 'zoomeye_vuldb_by_keyword'. There is no mention of prerequisites, limitations, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage context without explicit advice.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
zoomeye_vuldb_by_keywordA
Search ZoomEye's vulnerability database for security vulnerabilities based on a specified keyword.
This function queries the ZoomEye vulnerability database to retrieve information about known security vulnerabilities associated with specific products, vendors. Results include vulnerability details such as CVE IDs, severity ratings, affected versions, and vulnerability descriptions.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| keyword | Yes | Search term to query the vulnerability database. This can be a product name, vendor name (e.g., "nginx", "mysql", "tomcat", "WordPress", "hikvision", "huawei"). | |
| page_size | No | Number of records per page, default is 10, maximum is 100. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, but the description only lists output fields without behavioral disclosures like read-only guarantee, rate limits, or authentication needs.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and front-loaded, though the second paragraph could be shortened without losing value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description reasonably explains return fields (CVE, severity, etc.) and implies pagination via page_size, though total count is omitted.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, and the description enhances understanding by providing examples for keyword and clarifying page_size defaults/maximum.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool searches ZoomEye's vulnerability database by keyword, and implicitly distinguishes it from siblings (search vs. by ID).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains it retrieves vulnerability info for products/vendors but does not explicitly compare with zoomeye_search or zoomeye_vuldb_by_id.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 3 tools
Each tool serves a distinct purpose: one for general asset search, one for vulnerability detail by ID, and one for vulnerability keyword search. There is no overlap in functionality.
All tools follow a consistent 'zoomeye_' prefix with snake_case naming: search, vuldb_by_id, vuldb_by_keyword. Pattern is uniform and predictable.
With 3 tools, the set is minimal but appropriate for the ZoomEye domain, covering asset search and vulnerability queries. Slightly thin but reasonable given the focused scope.
The tools cover basic search and vulnerability lookup, but lack features like retrieving detailed host info, filtering by specific fields, or obtaining result counts. Some operations are missing for full workflow coverage.
