Security Report
This VirusTotal MCP server is well-structured with appropriate authentication via API key and no malicious patterns. The primary concerns are minor code quality issues: the API key is passed as an argument rather than via environment variables (though this is somewhat intentional for a BYO key model), and there is minimal input validation. Permissions are appropriate for the server's purpose of querying VirusTotal's API.
