# IaC Static Misconfiguration Scanner

> IaC Static Misconfiguration Scanner is a paid API for AI agents from api.agentstools.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Performs a static security scan of infrastructure-as-code configs (Terraform, Kubernetes, Dockerfile, docker-compose, CloudFormation) and returns a verdict, risk score, and per-finding details with fix hints.

## 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 iac-static-misconfiguration-scanner-d9998761 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scan this Terraform HCL config for security misconfigurations and tell me the risk score, verdict, and any specific findings with fix hints? Here's the config: [paste HCL]

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, automated security pre-check of IaC configs (Terraform, Kubernetes, Dockerfile, docker-compose, CloudFormation) before deployment. Ideal for CI/CD pipeline gates, agent-driven DevSecOps workflows, or on-demand config audits where a structured verdict and actionable per-finding fix hints are needed at low cost ($0.02/call).

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or malformed config format causes parsing failure
- Auto-detection fails for ambiguous or mixed-format configs
- Very large config payloads may time out or be rejected
- False negatives: novel or complex misconfigurations may not be detected
- False positives possible on non-standard but intentional configurations

## How this service works

Static misconfiguration scan of an infrastructure-as-code config: Terraform (plan JSON or HCL), Kubernetes / Helm, Dockerfile, docker-compose or CloudFormation. Detects public storage, open security groups, unencrypted data at rest, over-broad IAM, privileged / root containers, host mounts and more. Returns a verdict (pass, caution, block), a 0-100 risk score and per-finding rule, severity, resource, location and fix hint. Security indicators, not a guarantee.

## Output

Returns a verdict (pass, caution, or block), a 0–100 risk score, and a list of per-finding objects each containing the rule name, severity level, affected resource, location within the config, and a fix hint. Serves as security signal, not a compliance guarantee.
