CodeInspectus tools (7)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
codeinspectus_compliance_reportProduce a per-framework code-level control-coverage view for a prior scan (NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2, CIS v8.1, Essential Eight, OWASP Web/LLM). Reports 'X of N code-visible controls have findings' with the code-visible subset as the explicit denominator. This is NOT a compliance audit, certification, or attestation \u2014 code-level evidence only.
codeinspectus_explain_findingReturn a deep explanation and full remediation plan for a single finding id from a prior scan: what the weakness is, why it matters, concrete fix steps, and references.
codeinspectus_generate_sbomGenerate a CycloneDX or SPDX SBOM for the target project using Trivy plus the first-party offline Pub lockfile inventory, with native Pub fallback when Trivy is unavailable. Writes the SBOM file to the chosen output path and returns its location and component count. Offline.
codeinspectus_list_rulesList the active detectors and engine versions, the CodeInspectus detection-database version and date, Trivy vulnerability-DB freshness, bundled Pub advisory-database provenance/freshness, and the custom CodeInspectus AI-code rules and native detector packs currently shipped.
codeinspectus_rescanRe-run a scan after fixes were applied and diff against a prior scan_id (or the most recent scan of the same path). Reports which findings are resolved, which remain, and which were newly introduced, plus fresh technology and native-pack execution coverage. Repository-trust artifacts are diffed separately with fail-closed resolved, remaining, introduced and not-rechecked states. Use this to verify
codeinspectus_scancodeinspectus_setupInspect external-engine health and exact platform download sizes, save declined choices, or install selected Opengrep/Gitleaks/Trivy components after explicit confirmation. Plan is offline. Install writes only to ~/.codeinspectus, verifies immutable pins/publisher provenance, and never modifies the target repository.
