cipher_suite_info
Look up TLS cipher suites by IANA name, OpenSSL name, GnuTLS name or hex code (0x13,0x01 / 0xC02F) — one or a whole list from a scanner, server config or ClientHello — and get key exchange, authentication, cipher, MAC / PRF hash, AEAD and forward-secrecy flags, minimum protocol, the IANA Recommen...

What cipher_suite_info does on ScorpTech x402 API
AI agents call cipher_suite_info to retrieve information from ScorpTech x402 API without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
limit | integer | — | |
suite | string | — | One or more suites (names or hex), separated by spaces, colons, commas or newlines |
rating | string | — | Browse filter |
protocol | string | — | Browse filter |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why cipher_suite_info is rated Low
Even though cipher_suite_info only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs cipher_suite_info safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ScorpTech x402 API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For cipher_suite_info, this is the rule to start with:
cipher_suite_info is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ScorpTech x402 API, apply this rule, and every cipher_suite_info call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about cipher_suite_info
Look up TLS cipher suites by IANA name, OpenSSL name, GnuTLS name or hex code (0x13,0x01 / 0xC02F) — one or a whole list from a scanner, server config or ClientHello — and get key exchange, authentication, cipher, MAC / PRF hash, AEAD and forward-secrecy flags, minimum protocol, the IANA Recommended flag (Y / N / Discouraged) and a security rating (recommended, secure, weak, insecure) with reasons: no forward secrecy, CBC, SHA-1, RC4, 3DES, EXPORT, NULL or anonymous. Lists get a summary and their worst suite. Without a suite, browse the 356-entry IANA registry filtered by protocol or rating. Offline data: IANA registry, OpenSSL 3.6 and GnuTLS names. Price: $0.001 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: GET https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/v1/cipher-suite-info. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ScorpTech x402 API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
cipher_suite_info accepts 4 parameters: limit, suite, rating, protocol. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cipher_suite_info: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches ScorpTech x402 API. Nothing to install.
cipher_suite_info is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the cipher_suite_info rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for cipher_suite_info. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
cipher_suite_info is provided by the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server (https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
