Can I check for critical vulnerabilities in a specific project version?

Yes! Use the `list_vulnerabilities` tool with the Project and Version IDs. Your agent will fetch the list of components with known security flaws and their severity levels.

How do I know if my Black Duck scan is finished?

Simply ask the agent to `get_bom_status` for the specific project version. It will return the current calculation status, showing if the BOM is 'Up to date' or still processing.

What happens if I trigger API rate limits?

Black Duck limits connections to 100 requests per 10 seconds or 10,000 per 30 minutes. If you exceed this sustained load protection, you will temporarily receive a HTTP 429 error code restricting your IP for 15 minutes.

About Black Duck (Synopsys) MCP Server

Connect your Black Duck (Synopsys) instance to any AI agent and orchestrate your open source security and license compliance workflows through natural conversation.

AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Black Duck (Synopsys) tools. Connect 10 tools through the Vinkius and assign role-based access — a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

What you can do

Project Oversight — List and retrieve detailed metadata for all your software projects and their versions.
Vulnerability Tracking — Query project versions for known vulnerabilities (CVEs) and retrieve severity levels.
BOM Monitoring — Check the status of Bill of Materials (BOM) calculations to ensure up-to-date compliance data.
Policy Management — List and audit security policy rules defined across your organization.
Scan Analysis — Access code locations and scan histories to track security coverage.
User & Access Auditing — Retrieve user profiles and manage access controls within the platform.

The Black Duck (Synopsys) MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Black Duck (Synopsys) + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Black Duck (Synopsys) MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Black Duck (Synopsys) tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
