Frequently asked questions
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.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
