# AgentToll CVE Search

> AgentToll CVE Search is a paid API for AI agents from agenttoll.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Search the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) database by keyword, CVE ID, or related criteria to retrieve vulnerability details

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://agenttoll.dev/paid/security/cve-search
- Price: $0.02/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agenttoll-cve-search-32badf2a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the CVE database for known vulnerabilities affecting OpenSSL and give me the CVE IDs, severity scores, and descriptions for the top results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs programmatic, pay-per-call access to CVE vulnerability data without requiring API key registration with NVD. Ideal for security audits, dependency scanning workflows, or OSINT pipelines that need on-demand CVE lookups billed in USDC via x402 protocol on Base.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if the search term is too vague or not found in the database
- Payment failure if USDC balance on Base is insufficient ($0.02 required)
- Malformed request if required query parameters are missing
- Rate limiting or service unavailability on the underlying CVE data source
- Empty results array for very new or obscure CVEs not yet indexed

## How this service works

108+ receipt-backed x402 work products for AI agents. Clear prices, spend caps, buyer metadata, and structured results over Base USDC.

## Output

A JSON object with a 'success' flag and a 'data.results' array containing matching CVE records, each including CVE ID, description, severity/CVSS scoring information, affected products, and publication dates.
