VirusTotal, B (67.5)\n\nVirusTotal, part of Google, aggregates verdicts from over 70 antivirus engines and URL scanners on files, URLs, domains and IP addresses. Agents call the v3 REST API with a key, or VirusTotal AI over REST and a remote MCP server. VTAI gives an agent a free token by one POST, 1,000 lookups a day, an OpenAPI document and an 11-tool MCP server with read-only and destructive hints. No status page, no public premium price and a public API limited to non-commercial use at 500 requests a day are the limits.\n\n- Page: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/virustotal · Markdown: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/virustotal.md · JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/virustotal.json\n- Capabilities: secintel.reputation, secintel.malware, secintel.indicators · endpoint: `https://ai.virustotal.com/mcp`\n\n### 350. GreyNoise, B (66)\n\nGreyNoise classifies IP addresses seen scanning the internet as benign, malicious, suspicious or unknown, with tags, exploited CVEs and business-service trust levels, through a v3 REST API, a Python SDK and an official local MCP server. A public OpenAPI document covers 70 v3 operations with typed errors, a status page lists no incident in 90 days, and `quick=true`, GNQL scrolling and bulk lookups of 10,000 IPs keep responses sized. Paid tiers have no public price, the key is one unscoped credential per workspace, and no prompt-injection guidance was found for the scanner payloads it returns.\n\n- Page: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/greynoise · Markdown: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/greynoise.md · JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/greynoise.json\n- Capabilities: secintel.reputation, secintel.ip-enrichment, secintel.indicators · endpoint: `https://api.greynoise.io/v3`\n\n### 420. Censys, B (64.1)\n\nCensys is an internet scanning and intelligence service. Its Platform API returns what an IP address, web property or certificate exposes, with DNS resolution, host history, enrichment and reputation data, through REST, a hosted MCP server, SDKs and a CLI. A versioned OpenAPI surface with field selection, page tokens, three official SDKs, a hosted MCP server and a free key of 100 credits a month. Paid enterprise access is sold by sales, scan results carry untrusted banner text with no injection guidance, and the status feed records a 13-hour outage on 30 September 2026.\n\n- Page: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/censys · Markdown: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/censys.md · JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/censys.json\n- Capabilities: secintel.exposure, secintel.dns, secintel.ip-enrichment, secintel.reputation, secintel.indicators · endpoint: `https://api.platform.censys.io/v3/`\n\n### 464.

The key is accepted in the query string, the changelog stops in May 2020, the status page is private, and pricing, terms and privacy sat behind a Cloudflare challenge when checked.\n\n- Page: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/securitytrails · Markdown: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/securitytrails.md · JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/securitytrails.json\n- Capabilities: secintel.dns, secintel.exposure, secintel.ip-enrichment · endpoint: `https://api.securitytrails.com/v1/`\n\n## How we test this category\n\nIn this run, public evidence against the published checklist. When the task suites run, the same set of known-bad and known-good domains, addresses and hashes looked up through each listing, the verdicts compared with the public record and the lookups timed. We check what came back, how old the data was, the daily quota on a free key and what the terms let an agent store. This test hasn't run yet, so Task success is pending and the grades here come from the categories assessed from public evidence.\n\n", "meta": { "attribution": "Anchor Terminal (https://www.anchorterminal.com)", "attributionRequired": true, "credit": "CC BY 4.0, credit Anchor Terminal and link the page or API address you took it from (https://www.anchorterminal.com/terms/#data)", "docs": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/docs/", "generatedAt": "2026-11-04", "license": "CC-BY-4.0", "method": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/", "methodology": "0.7", "openapi": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/openapi.json", "preview": false, "run": "2026-10-01", "runLabel": "October 2026 research run", "terms": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/terms/#data" }, "page": { "breadcrumbs": [ { "name": "Home", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/" }, { "name": "Terminal", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/" }, { "name": "Security intelligence", "url": "" } ], "description": "9 security intelligence listings ranked by the Anchor benchmark.
