    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Scan the HTTP security headers of a public website. Returns a 0–100 score and A+–F grade (HTTPS 10, HSTS 15, CSP 25, framing 10, X-Content-Type-Options 10, Referrer-Policy 10, Permissions-Policy 5, COOP 5, CORP 5, cookies 5, minus up to 5 for version-leak headers; without HTTPS the score is capped at 39), each header's status and notes, recommended fix headers, and a link to the full report with copy-paste snippets for nginx, Apache, Cloudflare, Netlify, Vercel and Express. Read-only: it sends ordinary GET requests to the site (following up to 10 redirects, each safety-checked) and never reads page bodies. Same engine and scoring as the HeaderGuard JSON API (GET /api/scan).

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Scan security headers
    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: true

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
