What search_cve does on Cybersecurity Professor MCP Server

AI agents call search_cve to retrieve information from Cybersecurity Professor MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why search_cve needs a policy

This tool retrieves and explains information about CVEs and vulnerabilities—it is educational and read-only in nature. While it provides information about exploits and attack techniques, it does not execute attacks, modify systems, or take destructive actions. It functions as a reference/knowledge lookup tool for cybersecurity learning, analogous to searching a CVE database.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Explica cualquier CVE o vulnerabilidad conocida' (explains any CVE or known vulnerability): how it technically works, if there is public exploit, how to detect it and patch it.
