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.
