GET/api/v1/mcp/security

Get MCP security posture

Returns org-agnostic MCP reference data compiled into @evalguard/core — not per-org posture. Response: `patterns` (each `{toolPattern, riskLevel, reason}` from MCP_RISK_PATTERNS), `totalPatterns`, `toolCategories` (the distinct leading segment of each pattern), `totalCategories`, and the `defaultConfig` used by the risk gateway (`enabled:true, riskThreshold:0.7, blockHighRisk:true, auditMode:false`). No `mcp_servers` row, tool-call audit, sandbox state, or denied-invocation history is read. Authenticated; the same answer for every caller. Per-org MCP registry data lives on the Team-gated /api/v1/mcp/servers routes.

Authentication

Send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY on every request. Generate API keys at /dashboard/settings/api-keys.

// The TypeScript SDK (@evalguard/sdk) exposes TYPED methods — runEval,

// For an arbitrary endpoint, call it directly:

  method: "GET",
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.EVALGUARD_API_KEY}` },
});
console.log(res.status, await res.json());
