How to Use the Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How do I index Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) telemetry into LlamaIndex using this MCP Server?

Install llama-index-tools-mcp and set up the BasicMCPClient pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Use McpToolSpec to load the tools, allowing your agent to fetch and index active cloud security alerts.

Q: Can LlamaIndex query historical CVE data retrieved from Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP)?

Yes, by using searchcveexposure or listhostvulnerabilities, your RAG pipeline can ingest active vulnerability metrics. This data is indexed into your vector store so you can query past exposure trends semantically.

Q: How does this MCP Server prevent hallucinated answers in LlamaIndex security agents?

Your agent relies on exact tools like getalert and searchcloudinventory to pull real-time telemetry. By grounding the context window in actual JSON payloads, the system avoids generating false security findings.

Q: Can I filter which Lacework tools are exposed to my LlamaIndex agent?

Yes, you can use the allowedtools filter in LlamaIndex to restrict your agent's access. For example, you can expose only searchcveexposure while keeping administrative tools hidden.

Q: What happens to the security of my cloud inventory data when using this server?

Your AWS and GCP asset details fetched via searchcloudinventory are processed in ephemeral V8 isolates. No configuration data is stored permanently on Vinkius, ensuring your infrastructure layout remains private.

Index live cloud vulnerability data and active security alerts directly into LlamaIndex vector stores using this MCP Server.

Perplexity

Semantic search over active cloud security alerts

The `search_alerts` tool fetches active events mapping to anomalous Kubernetes executions, AWS IAM brute-forcing, or massive container network exfiltrations. LlamaIndex indexes these live payloads directly into your vector store, making your security historical logs completely searchable via natural language queries. This setup eliminates manual log parsing during incident post-mortems. Your agent queries the index to find recurring attack patterns, grounding its answers in actual Lacework telemetry rather than generating generic advice.

Indexing host CVE exposures for RAG pipelines

The `search_cve_exposure` tool searches all integrated machines and instances to locate the exact nodes currently vulnerable to a specific CVE. LlamaIndex processes this machine list, pairing it with your internal deployment documentation to create a unified knowledge base. When you ask your RAG pipeline which servers need urgent patching, it checks the real-time exposure index. You get a prioritized remediation plan based on live risk rather than outdated static spreadsheets.

Grounding policy audits in live MCP Server configurations

The `list_security_policies` tool exposes the active cloud security rules enforced by Lacework, such as open port 22 configurations. LlamaIndex reads these rules to verify compliance status during automated security audits. By comparing your written security policies with the live rules fetched by this MCP Server, your agent highlights gaps instantly. This ensures your compliance reports are always backed by verified, real-time configuration data.

Setup guide

Set up Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) MCP in LlamaIndex

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
llama-index-tools-mcp package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install llama-index-tools-mcp llama-index-llms-openai. The MCP tools package provides BasicMCPClient and McpToolSpec.
2

Connect with BasicMCPClient
Point BasicMCPClient to your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. Supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports.
3

Convert to LlamaIndex tools
Call mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async() to convert all Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) MCP tools into native FunctionTool objects that any LlamaIndex agent can use.
4

Run with any LLM
Create a FunctionAgent with the tools and your preferred LLM. Swap OpenAI for Anthropic, Gemini, or any LlamaIndex-supported provider.

agent.py

from llama_index.tools.mcp import BasicMCPClient, McpToolSpec
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import FunctionAgent
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

# Connect to the MCP
mcp_client = BasicMCPClient(
    "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
mcp_tool_spec = McpToolSpec(client=mcp_client)

# Convert MCP tools to LlamaIndex tools
tools = await mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async()

# Create and run the agent
agent = FunctionAgent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
    system_prompt="You have access to Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) data")
