WHAT IT DOES

What onvifScan does on Linux Network Scanner MCP Server

AI agents invoke onvifScan to trigger actions in Linux Network Scanner MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why onvifScan needs a policy

ONVIF is a network protocol standard for IP cameras and security devices. An 'onvifScan' tool likely performs active network scanning/probing of ONVIF-compatible devices (cameras, NVRs). Given the server context includes offensive security tools (ftpBruteForce, exploitScan, aircrackScan), this tool likely executes active scanning operations against network devices.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'onvifScan' on a server with sibling tools like 'exploitScan', 'ftpBruteForce', 'aircrackScan', and 'bettercapScan' in a network security scanning context. Description is empty.
