Look up a single OSV.dev advisory by ID. Accepts GHSA / CVE / PYSEC / RUSTSEC / GO / OSV / DSA / ALPINE / DEBIAN / UBUNTU and other documented identifier prefixes. License: Apache 2.0.
AI agents call get_osv_advisory_by_id to retrieve information from TensorFeed without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | string | Yes | Advisory ID, e.g. GHSA-r75f-5x8p-qvmc or CVE-2024-3094 |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool retrieves vulnerability advisory data from OSV.dev by identifier (CVE, GHSA, etc.). It performs a read-only lookup with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or financial implications. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose already-public security advisory information.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_' prefix and description states 'Look up a single OSV.dev advisory by ID' — a query operation that retrieves advisory information without modification.

It is categorised as a Read tool in the TensorFeed MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_osv_advisory_by_id accepts 1 parameter: id. Required: id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the TensorFeed MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_osv_advisory_by_id: 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 TensorFeed. Nothing to install.
get_osv_advisory_by_id 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 get_osv_advisory_by_id 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 get_osv_advisory_by_id. 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.
get_osv_advisory_by_id is provided by the TensorFeed MCP server (https://mcp.tensorfeed.ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
