Can I search for specific CVE exposure across my whole cloud environment?

Yes. Use the `search_cve_exposure` tool and provide the official CVE ID (e.g. CVE-2023-1234). Your agent will filter the entire cloud footprint to determine exactly which specific nodes or machines are currently vulnerable.

How do I investigate the behavioral telemetry of a specific security alert?

The `get_alert` tool extracts precisely what baseline behavior was deviated from for a specific Alert ID. Your agent will return detailed contextual metadata, including offending container SHAs and correlated IP anomalies.

Can my agent run custom threat hunting queries using LQL?

Absolutely. Use the `execute_query` tool to run specialized Lacework Query Language (LQL) blocks. This allows your agent to perform complex mathematical analysis on cloud telemetry to identify deep security patterns.

About Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) MCP Server

Connect your Lacework (FortiCNAPP) account to any AI agent and take full control of your cloud security posture and threat hunting through natural conversation.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools — Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

Alert Orchestration — Search and retrieve deep behavioral telemetry for security alerts, identifying anomalous Kubernetes executions or AWS IAM brute-forcing attempts directly from your agent
Vulnerability Management — List critical CVEs executing on cloud hosts and monitor static image vulnerabilities in your container registries (ECR, DockerHub)
Emergency Incident Response — Instantly search your entire infrastructure for specific CVE exposure (e.g., Log4j) to identify vulnerable nodes during zero-day events
Asset Inventory Audit — Query the real-time cloud control-plane to enumerate running instances, unrestricted S3 buckets, and active networking perimeters
Threat Hunting (LQL) — Execute specialized Lacework Query Language (LQL) requests to analyze vast datasets for anomalous login patterns or API key abuse
Compliance Monitoring — List and audit global cloud security policies to ensure your infrastructure remains within regulatory and organizational norms

The Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Lacework (Cloud Security & CNAPP) MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
