`get_epss`

Pack: epss · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/get_epss for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

EPSS exploit-probability for one or more CVEs. Returns each CVE’s EPSS score (0-1 = probability it will be exploited in the wild in the next 30 days) and percentile (how it ranks vs all CVEs). Use to gauge real-world exploit likelihood and prioritize patching — complements CVSS severity (a high-severity CVE with low EPSS may be lower urgency than a moderate-severity one with high EPSS).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`cve`	string	yes	A CVE id like “CVE-2021-44228”, or several comma-separated (e.g. “CVE-2021-44228,CVE-2014-0160”).
