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.

Black Duck (Synopsys) + Google ADK FAQ

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

How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?

Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.

Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.

Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?

Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
