Before you connect
Questions about Halo Security.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How does Halo Security MCP help with vulnerability management?
It allows you to query your vulnerability data using natural language. Instead of searching through a complex dashboard, you can ask your agent to list issues by severity or pull specific details for a single flaw to see how to fix it.
Can I use Halo Security MCP to trigger scans on demand?
Yes. You can tell your agent to start a new security assessment for any target in your perimeter. It will trigger the scan in the Halo Security platform and you can check the results later.
Does Halo Security MCP support SSL certificate monitoring?
Yes, it can pull a list of all your SSL/TLS certificates. This helps you quickly identify which ones are expiring soon so you can renew them before they cause service disruptions.
How do I add new assets to my security perimeter using Halo Security MCP?
You can simply tell your agent to add a new domain or IP address. It will register that asset in your Halo Security perimeter so it can be included in future scans and monitoring.
Can I use Halo Security MCP to see what technologies are running on my servers?
Yes. The Connector can retrieve a list of detected technologies and libraries across your assets. This is great for identifying outdated software or unauthorized frameworks in your environment.
How does Halo Security MCP show my organization's risk score?
Your agent can pull your organization's overall risk score and historical trends. This gives you a quick way to see if your security posture is improving or declining over time.
How do I find my Halo Security API Key?
Log in to your Halo Security account, navigate to Account Settings and then to the API section. You will be able to generate and copy your unique API key from there.
Can I trigger a new scan through this integration?
Yes! Use the trigger_scan capability by providing the unique target ID of the asset you want to assess. Halo Security will initiate the scan immediately.
How are security issues categorized?
Issues are categorized by their severity (e.g., Critical, High, Medium, Low) and type (e.g., Vulnerability, Information, SSL Issue). You can use list_issues to see all findings.
Is it possible to add new domains to monitor?
Yes, the add_target capability allows you to add new domains or IP addresses to your security perimeter directly from the AI agent.
