security.ics-advisories

CISA Industrial Control Systems (ICS) advisories — vulnerabilities in operational-technology gear (SCADA, PLCs, building automation, energy/manufacturing/transportation systems, and medical devices), from the official CISA advisory RSS feed. Each item is normalized to the canonical advisory id (ICSA-YY-DDD-NN, or ICSMA-YY-DDD-NN for medical), title, link to the full advisory, publication date (ISO), and a plain-text summary. Optionally filter by keyword (e.g. a vendor like "Siemens") and cap the count. Returned newest-first. Free, public-domain (CISA).

Overview

The ics advisories API is a pay-per-call security endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. CISA Industrial Control Systems (ICS) advisories — vulnerabilities in operational-technology gear (SCADA, PLCs, building automation, energy/manufacturing/transportation systems, and medical devices), from the official CISA advisory RSS feed.

There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in ics advisories data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs security data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.

Code samples

cURLbash
# 1. Probe with no auth → 402 envelope with PaymentRequirements
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/security/ics-advisories?q=example&limit=1'

# 2. Sign + retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE:
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/security/ics-advisories?q=example&limit=1' \
  -H 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64-json-payload>'

# Or use the canonical runner (handles probe → sign → retry):
#   EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... node --env-file=.env.local \
#     --experimental-strip-types scripts/x402-pay.ts \
#     'https://2s.io/api/security/ics-advisories?q=example&limit=1'

MCP — Claude Desktop / AgentKit / any MCP hostjson
// 1. Add @2sio/mcp to your MCP host config (Claude Desktop example below).
//    EVM_PRIVATE_KEY funds x402 payments per call.

// claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {

      "args": ["-y", "@2sio/mcp"],

    }
  }
}

// 2. Once the server is running, agents call this tool via standard MCP:

FAQ

Do I need an API key to use the ics advisories API?
No. security.ics-advisories is x402-native — there is no signup and no API key. Your client makes the call, receives a 402 with payment requirements, signs a USDC payment, and retries. Funds come from a wallet you control.
How much does the ics advisories API cost?
$0.0048 USDC per call, charged per request. There are no monthly fees, seats, or minimums — you pay only for the calls you make.
Can I try the ics advisories API for free first?
Yes. Add ?trial=1 (or the header X-2s-Trial: 1) to get a free real call per endpoint per hour, so you can verify the response shape before wiring payment.
Which networks and tokens are supported?
USDC on Base (via EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization) or Solana (SPL transfer), using the open x402 payment protocol.
How do I call security.ics-advisories from an AI agent or MCP host?
Use @2sio/sdk (TypeScript), 2sio (Python), or the @2sio/mcp server for any MCP host — each handles the probe → sign → retry loop for you. See the code samples on this page.
