Build Live Security Reports Inside VS Code

Tell Cline, "Create a Markdown report of all critical host vulnerabilities." Your agent gets to work, calling `list_host_vulnerabilities` to fetch the raw data from your Lacework account. It identifies CVEs, affected machines, and severity levels. Cline doesn't just dump JSON on you. It parses the response and writes a formatted `.md` file directly into your project, complete with tables and summaries. You go from a request to a shareable report in seconds, without leaving your editor.

Let Cline Write Your Lacework Audit Code

Need to run a complex threat hunt? Ask Cline to "Write a script that executes the 'Anomalous AWS API Key Usage' LQL query." First, Cline can use `list_lql_queries` to find the exact query name you need. Then, it will write a Python or Node.js script that uses the Lacework API to call `execute_query` via this MCP server. The script will be complete with error handling and will format the results, ready for you to run or schedule.

Turn Lacework Alerts into Actionable Code

An alert just fired. Tell Cline, "Get details for alert 123 and find all related assets." Cline uses `get_alert` to fetch the payload, then extracts the affected instance IDs or container images. Based on that data, you can have Cline take the next step. It can use `search_cloud_inventory` to get more context on the asset, and then generate a Terraform file to isolate the machine or a Jira ticket with all the relevant details already filled in.
