Get vulnerability scan results for the range. Args: user_id: Optional user ID (admin only) Returns: Vulnerability scan results
AI agents call get_vulnerability_scan to retrieve information from Ludus FastMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves pre-computed vulnerability scan data from a Ludus cyber range environment. It has no side effects—it queries and returns existing scan results without modifying infrastructure, executing code, or destroying data. The admin-only user_id parameter suggests access control but does not change the fundamental read-only nature of the operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_vulnerability_scan' and description 'Get vulnerability scan results' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and the return of 'Vulnerability scan results' show no data modification, creation, deletion, or execution of commands.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ludus FastMCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_vulnerability_scan:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_vulnerability_scan": {}
}
}get_vulnerability_scan is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the Ludus Fast MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_vulnerability_scan: 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 Ludus FastMCP. Nothing to install.
get_vulnerability_scan 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_vulnerability_scan 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_vulnerability_scan. 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_vulnerability_scan is provided by the Ludus Fast MCP server (tjnull/ludus-fastmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
