## Description

Connecting your Acunetix 360 account to your AI agent changes how you handle web security. Instead of jumping between browser tabs to check on a scan or digging through long spreadsheets of vulnerabilities, you just ask your agent to do the heavy lifting. You can start new scans for your web apps or APIs while you're busy with other tasks. When those scans finish, your agent can pull the specific issues that need attention, showing you the severity and the steps to fix them. It's a huge help for keeping up with security across a large infrastructure. If you're trying to keep your builds clean, you can audit recent results to make sure nothing slipped through. This kind of automated triage helps you stay ahead of risks without the usual manual overhead. By using this Connector through the Vinkius catalog, you get a direct line to your security data. You can check on the progress of a scan while you're in a meeting or ask your agent to summarize the findings of a scan that finished overnight. It takes the repetitive parts of vulnerability management and puts them into a conversational interface. This means you spend less time hunting for data and more time actually fixing the security holes in your code. You get a clear view of your security status without the need to navigate complex menus or filter through hundreds of false positives manually. It makes the whole process of maintaining a secure web presence feel like a simple conversation with your agent.

## Tools

### launch_scan
Start a new security scan for your web applications or APIs. Use this to trigger immediate security testing.

### list_vulnerabilities
Get a list of all identified security issues. This provides the data you need to start remediation.

### list_scans
See a list of all your vulnerability scans. This helps you keep track of past and current security checks.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Show me the most critical issues from my latest scan.
```

**Response:** 
```
I've pulled the results. Your last scan identified 4 high-severity issues: 1 SQL Injection, 2 XSS flaws, and 1 Broken Authentication. I can provide remediation steps for each if you'd like.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Are there any active scans running right now?
```

**Response:** 
```
You currently have 2 active scans running. One is targeting your production API and the other is a scheduled crawl of your staging environment. I can give you more details on either one.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
List all the vulnerabilities we found last week.
```

**Response:** 
```
I've retrieved the issues from last week's scan. We found a total of 22 vulnerabilities, mostly low-severity configuration issues. Would you like me to filter these by severity for you?
```

## Capabilities

### Launch new vulnerability scans
Start security scans for your web applications or APIs directly through your chat.

### Track active scan progress
See the real-time status of ongoing security checks across your organization.

### Pull vulnerability reports
Get a list of identified security issues including severity levels and remediation tips.

### Audit security results
Review scan data to support compliance and risk management efforts.

### Manage scan history
Access a full list of previous vulnerability scans to review past security data.

## Use Cases

### Triage a new scan
A security engineer asks the agent to show high-severity issues from the latest scan and gets a summary of what to fix first.

### CI/CD Audit
A DevSecOps lead asks the agent to check the scan results from the last build to see if any new vulnerabilities were introduced.

### Quick Dev Check
A developer wants to see if a new API endpoint has any obvious flaws and asks the agent to launch a targeted scan.

### Compliance Report
A compliance officer asks for a list of all identified vulnerabilities across the production environment to prepare for an audit.

## Benefits

- Faster triage with list_vulnerabilities by getting severity levels and remediation tips directly in your chat.
- Hands-free scanning with launch_scan so you don't have to manually trigger every security check.
- Better visibility into your security posture by using list_scans to monitor all historical data.
- Faster compliance checks by using your agent to audit scan results across your entire infrastructure.
- Reduced context switching for developers who can check for flaws without leaving their current workspace.
