lookup-urlscan

lookup-urlscan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Liberty91LTD/cti-skills. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,234 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A URLScan.io lookup tool that submits web addresses for live scans or finds recent scans for a domain. It returns scan details such as redirects, contacted network addresses, verdicts, and a screenshot link.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan a URL, search a domain’s existing scans, trace redirects, identify contacted domains and IP addresses, and retrieve a visual snapshot.
Why use it?
It helps you inspect a web address or domain without manually following it in a browser. The results provide raw evidence for checking suspicious links or investigating websites.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node tools/clis/urlscan.js url "<url>".

Good fit Use it to scan a URL, search a domain’s existing scans, trace redirects, identify contacted domains and IP addresses, and retrieve a visual snapshot.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

lookup-urlscan 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 12d 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.

lookup-urlscan

Submits URLs to URLScan.io for live scanning and retrieves results. For domains, searches existing scans first (uses cached scan if <24h old, else submits new one). Retrieval only — do not interpret.

When to invoke

  • User asks to scan a URL or check what a domain renders as
  • Investigation skill needs redirect chain, contacted infra, or a visual snapshot
  • Triaging a potentially malicious URL before clicking

How to invoke

Two CLIs are provided. Pick by capability needed:

Basic submit + cached domain search — Node CLI (zero deps)

node tools/clis/urlscan.js url "<url>"
node tools/clis/urlscan.js domain <domain>

Single-shot URL submit (with built-in 30s wait + 5x10s polling) or domain search. Best for fast retrieval inside an investigation chain.

Full API surface — Python CLI (stdlib only)

python3 tools/clis/urlscan.py submit <url> [--visibility V] [--country CC]
                                            [--tags t1,t2] [--user-agent UA]
                                            [--referer R] [--wait]
python3 tools/clis/urlscan.py result <uuid>
python3 tools/clis/urlscan.py search "<lucene-query>" [--size N]
python3 tools/clis/urlscan.py quota
python3 tools/clis/urlscan.py screenshot <uuid> [--out FILE]
python3 tools/clis/urlscan.py dom <uuid> [--out FILE]

Stdlib only — no install, no venv.

Capabilities the Node CLI doesn't have:

  • Lucene-style search — the killer pivot. Query against URLScan's full database: page.domain, page.url, asn, hash, filename, verdicts.overall.malicious, task.tags, page.country, etc. Combine with AND/OR/NOT.
  • Result by UUID — fetch a known scan without re-submitting.
  • Quota check — see remaining scan/search/retrieve quota before committing to a batch.
  • Screenshot download (screenshot --out img.png) — pull the rendered page screenshot.
  • DOM download (dom --out page.html) — pull captured HTML for offline analysis.
  • Submission options — country, custom user-agent, custom referer, tags.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
