(duplicate of STANDBY — GPU cracking, not applicable without captured hashes) |
nmap_advanced_scan |
Redundant — nmap_scan + execute_command covered all nmap needs |
| Category | Count | % of 149 |
|---|---|---|
| USED | 10 | 7% |
| STANDBY | 64 | 43% |
| IDLE | 50 | 34% |
| BLOATED | 25 | 16% |
| Total | 149 | 100% |
Key observation: 93% of registered tools went unused this engagement. - STANDBY tools are available for deeper follow-up phases (credential cracking, API fuzzing, Metasploit modules). - IDLE tools apply to binary/forensics/RE engagements — valid for Phase 3 if a binary exploit target is found. - BLOATED tools (25) add zero value for any network/web pentest and could be excluded from this profile's tool manifest.
For network/web pentest engagements like this one, consider a trimmed profile of ~85 tools (removing 64 IDLE+BLOATED). This reduces schema-loading overhead and narrows tool selection surface for the AI orchestrator.
