💻 Usage

Python API

from agents.react_agent import ReActAgent, ReActAgentConfig

# Configure agent
config = ReActAgentConfig(
    max_iterations=10,
    use_vm=True,
    vm_name="kali-pentest"
)

# Create agent
agent = ReActAgent(config)

# Run autonomous scan
result = agent.run(
    target="example.com",
    objective="Comprehensive security assessment"
)

# Generate report
print(agent.generate_report(result))

REST API

# Authentication
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/auth/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"username":"admin","password":"admin"}'

# Create scan
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/scans \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name":"Network Scan",
    "target":"192.168.1.0/24",
    "scan_type":"network",
    "config":{"ports":"top-1000"}
  }'

# Execute tool
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/tools/execute \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -d '{
    "tool_name":"nmap_scan",
    "target":"scanme.nmap.org",
    "parameters":{"ports":"22,80,443"}
  }'

# Generate report
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/reports \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -d '{
    "scan_id":1,
    "format":"pdf",
    "template":"default"
  }'

WebSocket (Real-Time)

const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8000/ws/scans/1');

ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
  console.log('Scan update:', data);
};
