FAQ

Questions Tenable owners ask.

  • 01

    Can my AI agent trigger vulnerability scans directly?

    Yes! You can ask your agent to list all mapped scan profiles. Once you copy the ID for something like 'External Perimeter Quick Scan', you can tell the agent to seamlessly launch that specific scan ID out of standard bounds.

  • 02

    How easy is it to investigate an alert about a single compromised asset?

    Extremely fast. If an IP triggers an alert downstream, ask your agent to retrieve asset details tracking that IP, obtain its specific Asset ID, and immediately pull vulnerabilities. You will instantly get a markdown table of CVEs missing on the endpoint without complex GUI clicking.

  • 03

    Can the agent interact with scanner appliances (Nessus)?

    Yes. It can fetch your entire scanner inventory across Tenable.io. This includes the internal Nessus agents linked to the account, their connection status, license states, and underlying software versions so you know if your fleet is healthy.
