MCP tools · 16 exposed · ~1,725 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
apply_triage ~94

Deterministically attach your triage verdicts to their findings and re-sort by exposure (highest first). Never suppresses. Pass the same 'findings' array you triaged plus a 'verdicts' array of { fingerprint, exposureScore, priority, rationale }.

NameTypeReqDescription
findingsarrayyesThe findings that were triaged.
verdictsarrayyesOne verdict per finding, keyed by fingerprint.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

apply_verified_patch ~168

Deterministically VERIFY a proposed fix before writing it — runs the same patch-policy + verify_fix + blast-radius gates as `qremediate` (offline, no key, no network). Give the finding, the file's current content, and your proposed FULL corrected content; returns approved:true only if the patch is in-policy, clears the finding, adds no new finding, introduces no network/exec sink, and is bounded in size. This does NOT write the file — you write it, only when approved, and never auto-merge.

NameTypeReqDescription
findingobjectyesThe scan finding being fixed (needs a string ruleId and location.file).
newContentstringyesYour proposed full corrected file content.
originalContentstringyesThe file's current full content.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

check_dependency ~82

Check whether a package is in quantakrypto's known quantum-vulnerable dependency database (the classical crypto it exposes). Provide 'name' and optional 'ecosystem' (default npm).

NameTypeReqDescription
ecosystemstringPackage ecosystem. Default: npm.
namestringyesPackage name to look up (e.g. 'node-forge', 'jsonwebtoken').

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

explain_finding ~135

Explain a quantakrypto finding and its post-quantum remediation. Provide a ruleId (e.g. 'forge-rsa-keygen', 'elliptic-ec', 'node-rsa', 'pem-ec-private-key') and/or an algorithm (e.g. 'RSA', 'ECDSA'). The ruleId is resolved against the core detector set, so library and config rules explain correctly.

NameTypeReqDescription
algorithmstringThe classical algorithm family involved (e.g. RSA, ECDH, ECDSA).
ruleIdstringThe finding's rule id, matching a detector id prefix.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

generate_cbom ~78

Scan a path and emit a CycloneDX 1.6 Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) of the classical cryptographic assets found, for compliance / supply-chain tooling. Reads the filesystem, so it is gated like scan_path over HTTP.

NameTypeReqDescription
pathstringyesAbsolute or relative path to a file or directory to inventory.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_fix_examples ~90

Return before/after code examples for migrating a classical algorithm to a post-quantum / hybrid replacement. Provide an 'algorithm' (RSA, ECDH, ECDSA, …) or a 'ruleId' from a finding.

NameTypeReqDescription
algorithmstringClassical algorithm family to migrate away from.
ruleIdstringA finding's ruleId (resolved to its algorithm).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

inventory_crypto ~59

Produce a post-quantum readiness inventory for a path: a 0-100 readiness score plus counts of cryptographic findings by algorithm, category, and severity.

NameTypeReqDescription
pathstringyesAbsolute or relative path to a file or directory to inventory.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_rules ~25

List the quantakrypto detector catalog: every detector id and what it looks for.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

plan_migration ~86

Scan a path and return a deterministic, prioritized post-quantum migration plan: findings grouped by algorithm, ordered harvest-now-decrypt-later first, each with its PQC target and the readiness-score impact. Reads the filesystem, so it is gated like scan_path over HTTP.

NameTypeReqDescription
pathstringyesAbsolute or relative path to a file or directory to plan a migration for.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

probe_endpoint ~239

Actively probe ONE live TLS/SSH endpoint YOU OWN for post-quantum readiness (PQC-hybrid key exchange X25519MLKEM768, classical certificate posture). REQUIRES an ownership attestation: set i_own_this=true to confirm you are authorized to test the target. Refuses CIDR ranges / wildcards / lists — one host at a time. Performs only a benign, unauthenticated handshake and never modifies the endpoint. NOTE: this is the ONLY quantakrypto MCP tool that opens a network connection; the server is otherwise offline. Over HTTP it is disabled unless the operator sets QUANTAKRYPTO_MCP_ALLOW_NETWORK=1.

NameTypeReqDescription
i_own_thisbooleanyesAttestation that you are authorized to probe this endpoint. Must be true; the probe is refused otherwise.
modestringProbe mode (default: auto — SSH on :22, TLS otherwise).
targetstringyesA single host or host:port you own (no ranges/CIDRs/wildcards).
timeout_msnumberPer-connection timeout in ms (default 8000).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

remediate_findings ~112

Produce a deterministic remediation REQUEST bundle (rubric + fix schema + per-finding metadata + fingerprints) for YOU (the host agent) to fix. This tool calls no model and needs no key. For each finding, propose the corrected FULL file content, then VERIFY with verify_fix and keep only fixes that clear the finding. Never touch files with secrets; never auto-merge. Pass 'findings' from scan_path --format json.

NameTypeReqDescription
findingsarrayyesFindings from a scan's JSON output.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

scan_path ~83

Scan a file or directory for classical (quantum-vulnerable) asymmetric cryptography using quantakrypto. Returns a readiness summary and findings.

NameTypeReqDescription
formatstringOutput format: 'summary' (default) for readable text, 'json' for the raw ScanResult.
pathstringyesAbsolute or relative path to a file or directory to scan.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

score_delta ~79

Compute the readiness-score and HNDL change between two finding sets (e.g. before and after a migration). Pass 'before' and 'after' as arrays of findings from scan_path --format json.

NameTypeReqDescription
afterarrayyesFindings after the change.
beforearrayyesFindings before the change (from a scan's JSON findings).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

suggest_hybrid ~172

Recommend a post-quantum / hybrid migration. Provide an 'algorithm' (e.g. RSA, ECDH, ECDSA) or free-text 'context' describing the usage. Set 'tier' to 'category-5' for CNSA 2.0 / national-security systems.

NameTypeReqDescription
algorithmstringClassical algorithm family to migrate away from.
contextstringFree-text description of the cryptographic usage (used when no algorithm is given).
tierstringSecurity tier: 'category-3' (default, commercial — ML-KEM-768 / ML-DSA-65) or 'category-5' (CNSA 2.0 / NSS, long-lived secrets — ML-KEM-1024 / ML-DSA-87).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

triage_findings ~100

Produce a deterministic triage REQUEST bundle (rubric + verdict schema + per-finding metadata) for YOU (the host agent) to reason over. This tool does NOT call any model and needs no API key. Assess each finding's real-world exposure, then call apply_triage with your verdicts. Pass 'findings' as an array from scan_path --format json.

NameTypeReqDescription
findingsarrayyesFindings from a scan's JSON output.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

verify_fix ~123

Run the quantakrypto detectors over a code snippet (NOT the filesystem) and report any classical crypto that remains. Use this to confirm an edit actually removed the quantum-vulnerable usage. Provide 'code' plus a 'language' or 'filename'.

NameTypeReqDescription
codestringyesThe source code to check.
filenamestringOptional filename; its extension selects the detectors (overrides 'language').
languagestringLanguage of the code (js, ts, python, go, java, csharp, rust, ruby, c, …).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
