search_cvesSearch Linux kernel CVEs. No API key required: keyless callers get the free public tier — recent high-severity Linux kernel CVEs (capped at 25 results). Free *keyed* callers see only CVEs published in the last 60 days; basic+ keyed callers get the full corpus. ``query`` matches…
get_cveFetch a single Linux kernel CVE by ID (e.g. ``CVE-2024-12345``). No API key required: keyless callers get the public representation of a CVE, but only for CVEs in the public set (recent high-severity); any other id returns ``not found``. Free *keyed* callers get a 404 for CVEs p…
list_productsList the calling user's products with denormalized analysis stats. Paid plans only (basic / pro / enterprise). Free callers get a clear upgrade message.
get_productFetch one product owned by the caller, including the CVE breakdown. Returns 404 (not 403) if the product belongs to another user, so product existence isn't leaked across accounts.
get_product_vexReturn the VEX MANIFEST for one of the caller's products — metadata, not the document. Multi-megabyte CycloneDX documents (up to 8,000+ vulnerability entries) are not safe model-context payloads, so this tool returns a bounded manifest: CycloneDX format/spec version, product id,…
list_product_vex_entriesPage through the VEX vulnerability entries of one of the caller's products. Returns COMPLETE CycloneDX vulnerability objects for one bounded page — never the root document, never all entries — plus ``returned``, ``total_matching``, and a ``next_cursor`` to continue with. Every r…
create_productCreate a new product, run analysis, and return its initial stats. ``config_upload_id`` references a previously-staged .config that the caller POSTed to ``/api/configs/uploads`` over plain HTTP — the LLM does NOT emit the config text itself (a real kernel .config is ~100–200 KB a…
update_productUpdate a product owned by the caller. Re-runs analysis if the kernel_version, arch, or referenced .config changed. To change the .config, first POST the new file to ``/api/configs/uploads`` (see ``create_product`` for the curl recipe) and pass the returned ``config_upload_id`` h…
whoamiReturn the caller's identity, plan, and quota state. Works without an API key: keyless callers get a lightweight public-tier payload (no account) describing how to request access.
request_accessExplain how to get a KernelScan account (no API key needed). Self-registration is open — there is no invitation to wait for and no admin in the loop. The user signs up on kernelscan.io themselves (email + password, accepting the terms), confirms the verification mail, and mints…
submit_support_reportSend a support / dispute report to KernelScan staff. Use this when an automated CVE or factor assessment looks wrong, or when you need to hand human-needed context back to the team. The caller's API-key user is attached automatically (id, email, plan) so support can look the acc…
