Before you connect
Questions about UpGuard.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How does the UpGuard MCP help with vendor risk?
It lets you query your vendor security scores and risk levels through a conversation. You can quickly identify which partners are falling behind on security standards without manually clicking through the UpGuard dashboard.
Can I use the UpGuard MCP to see my own security risks?
Yes. You can ask your agent to list all active risks on your account, including infrastructure vulnerabilities and identity breaches, to get a real-time view of your security posture.
How do I find out which employees are affected by breaches?
The Connector can retrieve data on identity breaches affecting your workforce. You can ask your agent to list these breaches and see which specific users are impacted so you can take action.
Can the UpGuard MCP list my monitored domains?
Yes, it can pull a full list of the domains you have set up for monitoring. This helps you maintain visibility over your organization's digital footprint and attack surface.
Is the UpGuard MCP good for procurement teams?
It is ideal for procurement. It allows teams to quickly verify the security scores of new software vendors and monitor the risk profiles of existing third-party partners during the contract process.
What happens when I ask about my attack surface?
Your agent will query the Connector to pull data on your monitored IP ranges, domains, and SaaS applications. It then summarizes this information to show you exactly what parts of your infrastructure are currently visible.
How do I check the security score of a specific vendor?
Use the get_vendor capability and provide the Vendor ID. Your agent will retrieve the complete security profile, including the overall score and metadata for that vendor.
Can I see all active risks across my entire account?
Yes! Use the list_account_risks query. This retrieves all active security risks detected across your own digital infrastructure (BreachSight).
Is it possible to monitor data breaches affecting our employees?
Absolutely. Use the list_identity_breaches query to retrieve data on identity breaches affecting your workforce, helping you take proactive security measures.
