redhat-security-data

redhat-security-data is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dmc5179/redhat-security-data-api-mcp. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,322 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for investigating Red Hat security data through an MCP server. It explains how to use six tools for CVEs, CSAF advisories, and OVAL data streams, including multi-step investigations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Searching CVEs and advisories, retrieving detailed vulnerability records, checking whether products are affected, and obtaining OVAL data for products such as RHEL 7 or RHEL 9.
Why use it?
It helps an agent choose the right security query and combine results to answer questions about vulnerabilities and affected Red Hat products.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

redhat-security-data scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Red Hat Security Data

Use the Red Hat Security Data API MCP server to investigate CVEs, CSAF advisories, and OVAL streams. This skill teaches you when and how to chain the six MCP tools for common security questions.

MCP Tools Available

Tool Use when
search_cves Finding CVEs by date range, severity, CVSS score, package, product, CWE, or advisory
get_cve_details Getting full details for a specific CVE (severity, CVSS, affected releases, package state, mitigation)
search_csaf Finding CSAF advisories by date, severity, CVE, package, Bugzilla ID, or RHSA ID
get_csaf_details Getting the full CSAF/VEX document for a specific RHSA advisory
list_oval_streams Listing available OVAL v2 data streams by product label or date
get_oval_stream Getting OVAL definitions for a specific product (e.g. RHEL7, RHEL9)

Investigation Patterns

Pattern 1: "Is product X affected by CVE-YYYY-NNNNN?"

  1. get_cve_details with the CVE ID
  2. Check package_state for the product — look for "Not affected", "Will not fix", "Fix deferred", or "Affected"
  3. Check affected_release for errata that fix the CVE on that product
  4. If an errata exists, use get_csaf_details with the RHSA ID to get the full advisory including exact fixed versions

Pattern 2: "What critical CVEs were published this week?"

  1. search_cves with severity=critical and created_days_ago=7
  2. For each CVE of interest, get_cve_details to get full impact details
  3. If the user cares about a specific product, filter results by checking affected_release and package_state

Pattern 3: "What advisories fix CVE-YYYY-NNNNN?"

  1. get_cve_details to get the list of affected_release entries with their advisory links
  2. search_csaf with cve=CVE-YYYY-NNNNN to find all CSAF advisories that reference the CVE
  3. get_csaf_details for specific advisories to get the product tree, fixed package versions, and remediation guidance

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
