Useful for analyzing how exploitability likelihood has evolved over time. ## When to use this tool Use this tool when the user asks about: - EPSS trend over time - how exploitability probability changed - whether EPSS spiked or dropped - historical comparison of risk If the user only wants the current EPSS score, use `vulnerability_score` instead. ## Inputs - **cve_id**: valid CVE identifier (`CVE-YYYY-NNNNN`). ## Outputs - **series**: array of objects, each containing: - `date`: measurement date in ISO format - `score`: EPSS score - `percentile`: EPSS percentile - `model`: EPSS model version ## LLM usage guidelines - Never guess EPSS values-use this tool for all EPSS time-series questions. - If `cve_id` is malformed or incomplete, ask the user to correct it before calling. - If the user mentions multiple CVEs, call the tool once per CVE as needed. - If no historical data is available, return an empty series and state that no EPSS history was found.

Supported reports can cover public datasets such as: - CVEs - security advisories - EPSS - weaknesses - CPE vendors and products - exploit references - sightings and IOC-related data Use `feed_report_catalog` to discover the list of available reports and their supported input parameters. ## When to use this tool Use this tool when the user asks about: - distributions, trends, or counts across public vulnerability data - top CVEs, top weaknesses, top vendors, or similar rankings - timeline-based summaries such as yearly or monthly trends - aggregated views over public SecDB feed data Do not use this tool when the user asks for details about a single CVE, advisory, or exploit. Use the dedicated lookup tools instead. ## Inputs - **report_id**: identifier of the report to execute - **filters**: optional object with report-specific filters - **limit**: optional maximum number of results to return, when supported by the selected report ## Outputs - **summary**: Optional Markdown summary of the report results - **report**: structured JSON object containing: - `report_id`: executed report identifier - `filters`: applied filters - `data`: structured report rows or aggregated values ## LLM usage guidelines - Use `feed_report_catalog` when you need to discover which public reports are available or which parameters they support. - Do not guess report IDs-use the catalog when uncertain. - Present `summary` directly to the user-it is already Markdown. - Use `report` for structured follow-up analysis, comparisons, or tool chaining. - If the selected report does not exist, return a clear not-found error instead of guessing an alternative.

This tool helps discover which reports can be executed through `feed_report`. ## When to use this tool Use this tool when: - the user asks what public reports are available - you need to discover the correct report ID before running a report - you need to inspect supported filters or input parameters - you are unsure which report best matches the user request ## Inputs This tool does not require any input. ## Outputs - **reports**: array of report definitions, each containing: - `report_id`: report identifier - `title`: human-readable report title - `description`: short explanation of what the report returns - `input_schema`: optional JSON schema describing supported input parameters ## LLM usage guidelines - Use this tool before `feed_report` whenever the correct report ID or supported parameters are not already known. - Do not invent report IDs or parameters not present in the catalog. - Prefer the most specific matching report for the user request. - When useful, briefly summarize the most relevant available reports before calling `feed_report`.

The audit results are based exclusively on the package list provided by the user. ## When to use this tool Use this tool when the user wants to determine: - whether installed packages contain known vulnerabilities - whether a host, VM, container, or base image is affected by security advisories - which packages require patching or upgrading If the user does not know the valid values for `os` or `version`, first call the `linux_os` tool to retrieve the exact supported combinations. ## Inputs - **os**: Linux distribution identifier supported by SecDB (use `linux_os` to obtain allowed values). - **version**: OS version or codename corresponding to the selected distribution. - **packages**: list of installed packages, **one per line**, generated using the appropriate system command: ### For RPM-based distributions (RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, Alma, SUSE) rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n' ### For DEB-based distributions (Ubuntu, Debian) dpkg-query -W -f='${Package} ${Version} ${Architecture}\n' ### For Alpine Linux apk list -I The raw output of these commands can be passed directly as the `packages` input (one package per line). ... python3 3.12.3-0ubuntu2.1 amd64 systemd 255.4-1ubuntu8.10 amd64 tmux 3.4-1ubuntu0.1 amd64 ... ## Outputs - **report**: structured objects describing the advisories affecting the audited packages. - **summary**: Markdown summary including total vulnerabilities, severity breakdown, and key findings. ## LLM usage guidelines - Never guess whether a package is vulnerable-always call this tool for Linux audits. - If `os` or `version` is unclear or missing, call `linux_os` and ask the user to choose a valid combination. - Normalize the package list to “one entry per line” if the user provides unstructured output. - The `summary` is already Markdown and can be shown directly. - Use `report` when deeper technical analysis is required.
linux_os
List supported Linux operating systems and their corresponding versions for use with the `linux_audit` tool. ## What this tool does Returns an array of supported OS/version pairs,… List supported Linux operating systems and their corresponding versions for use with the `linux_audit` tool. ## What this tool does Returns an array of supported OS/version pairs, each in the form: {"os":"name", "versions":["version or codename"]} This allows the LLM and the user to know exactly which inputs are valid for the `linux_audit` tool. ## When to use this tool Use this tool when: - the user does not know which OS names or versions are supported - the user provides unclear or ambiguous OS information - you need to validate `os`/`version` before performing a Linux audit This tool should typically be called **before `linux_audit`** whenever parameters are uncertain. ## Inputs This tool does not require any input. ## Outputs Returns an array of objects: - **os**: supported Linux distribution identifier - **versions**: corresponding list of supported release or codename Example: [ {"os": "ubuntu", "versions": ["noble","focal"]}, {"os": "debian", "versions": ["bookworm","sid"]}, {"os": "redhat", "version": ["redhat-9.0"]} ] ## LLM usage guidelines - Use this tool to validate or suggest correct OS/version combinations before calling `linux_audit`. - If the user provides invalid or misspelled OS names, retrieve the official list here and ask them to select one. - Do not guess operating system identifiers-always rely on this tool to confirm correctness.
