Virustotal Automation - Automating Malware Analysis via Rube MCP

Skill Overview

Virustotal Automation is a VirusTotal automation skill implemented through Rube MCP and the Composio toolkit. It helps security analysts and DevSecOps teams automate malware detection, file analysis, and threat intelligence query workflows without manually calling the VirusTotal API.

Use Cases

Security Operations Automation: Security Operations Center (SOC) teams can automate VirusTotal scanning for large volumes of suspicious files, quickly obtain threat intelligence reports, and improve incident response speed.

Batch File Analysis: Malware researchers and security analysts can use this skill to automatically scan multiple file samples in batches, collect results, and generate analysis reports.

DevSecOps Integration: Integrate security scanning into CI/CD pipelines to automatically detect security issues in build artifacts and dependency libraries, enabling continuous security monitoring.

Core Features

Tool Discovery and Connection Management: Use RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS to automatically discover available VirusTotal operations and RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS to manage connection status, ensuring that a valid connection is established before invoking tools.

Automated Workflow Execution: Use RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL to execute multiple VirusTotal operations, including file scanning, URL detection, domain lookups, and IP address analysis.

Batch Operations and Pagination Handling: Provides a complete solution for batch file processing, automatically handling paginated responses to ensure the complete execution of large-scale analysis tasks, while supporting session reuse and memory management.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started with the Virustotal Automation skill?

First, add the Rube MCP server (https://rube.app/mcp) to your client configuration; no API key is required. Then call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS to discover available VirusTotal operations, use RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS to establish a connection, and finally use RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL to execute specific analysis tasks.

Which VirusTotal operations does the skill support?

Through its dynamic tool discovery mechanism, the skill supports all operations provided by the VirusTotal API, including but not limited to file scanning, URL detection, domain analysis, IP address lookups, and threat intelligence retrieval. The specific tools available are returned in the results of RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS.

How does it handle batch analysis of large numbers of files?

Use RUBE_REMOTE_WORKBENCH together with run_composio_tool() to perform efficient batch operations. The skill automatically handles paginated responses to ensure that all files are scanned. It is recommended to reuse the session_id within a session and always pass the necessary contextual information in the memory parameter. This field must be included even when passing an empty object {}.
