Atomic, executable actions that power analysis, enumeration, and collection across Method’s platform.

Overview

A Tool is an atomic security action in the Method Platform. That security action may wrap an API (e.g. AWS) or a scanner (e.g. Nessus) or some custom security CLI. Each Tool is designed to perform a technical task, such as scanning a target, retrieving cloud configuration data, or enumerating network resources and can be used independently or as part of a larger workflow. Tools are organized by families (like Collection, Reconnaissance, or Exploitation) and executed through available runtimes.

Users can click into a Tool to view details about its purpose, parameters, required inputs, associated links, and the types of Objects it creates. The Examples tab provides sample use cases and representative executions that show how the Tool is used in operations. The Tasks tab displays all existing Tasks that use the selected Tool.
