lookup-virustotal

lookup-virustotal is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Liberty91LTD/cti-skills. It costs 87 tokens per session (1,378 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A retrieval tool that checks an IP address, domain, file hash, or web address against VirusTotal, a service that collects security reports from many detection tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to retrieve VirusTotal verdicts, detection ratios, community scores, and related findings for files, IPs, domains, or URLs.
Why use it?
It gathers reputation and detection information for a suspicious indicator without requiring manual lookup.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

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/virustotal.js <type> <value>.

Good fit Use it to retrieve VirusTotal verdicts, detection ratios, community scores, and related findings for files, IPs, domains, or URLs.

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-virustotal 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

lookup-virustotal

Queries VirusTotal API v3 for reputation data on IPs, domains, file hashes, and URLs. Retrieval only — do not interpret, assess, or conclude. The invoking skill or agent reasons about the result.

When to invoke

  • User asks to check an IP, domain, hash, or URL against VirusTotal
  • Investigation skill needs reputation context for a collected indicator
  • IOC enrichment pipeline is deduplicating + scoring a batch

How to invoke

Two CLIs are provided. Pick by capability needed:

Basic lookup — Node CLI (zero deps)

node tools/clis/virustotal.js <type> <value>
# where <type> is one of: ip, domain, hash, url

Hits the basic object endpoint only and distils to a verdict. Best for fast retrieval inside an investigation chain.

Full surface — Python CLI (stdlib only)

python3 tools/clis/virustotal.py file <hash> [--relationships R1,R2] [--limit N]
python3 tools/clis/virustotal.py ip <ip> [--relationships R1,R2] [--limit N]
python3 tools/clis/virustotal.py domain <domain> [--relationships R1,R2] [--limit N]
python3 tools/clis/virustotal.py url <url> [--relationships R1,R2] [--limit N]
python3 tools/clis/virustotal.py submit-url <url>
python3 tools/clis/virustotal.py comments <type> <id>
python3 tools/clis/virustotal.py search <query>     # Intel — premium

Stdlib only — no install, no venv.

Capabilities the Node CLI doesn't have:

  • Relationship traversal — the killer feature for pivoting. For an IP, fetch communicating_files, downloaded_files, resolutions, urls, related_threat_actors, historical_whois. For a file: contacted_ips, contacted_domains, dropped_files, similar_files, behaviours. For a domain: subdomains, siblings, resolutions. For a URL: contacted_ips, contacted_domains, last_serving_ip_address. Each --relationships entry is a separate API request — be deliberate about which to pull.
  • URL submission (submit-url) — push a URL into the analysis queue; returns an analysis ID.
  • Comments — community comments on any object.
  • Intel search — VT Intelligence query language (type:peexe size:1mb+ p:5+). Premium endpoint; will 403 on free.

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.
