Forescout

aid: forescout
name: Forescout
description: Forescout Technologies is a cybersecurity company specializing in automated cybersecurity for device visibility,
  control, and compliance across IT, OT/ICS, IoT, and IoMT environments. The Forescout Platform (eyeSight, eyeControl, eyeInspect,
  eyeExtend, and Risk & Exposure Management) discovers, classifies, assesses, and secures every connected asset on the network
  without requiring agents. Forescout exposes REST APIs for external integration through the Open Integration Module (OIM)
  of eyeExtend Connect — the Web API and Data Exchange (DEX) plugins — plus the eyeSight Admin API and the eyeInspect Command
  Center REST API, giving programmatic access to host inventory, network policies, alerts, and vulnerability data. First-party
  integration example code (Python, Node, and Postman collections) is published in the Forescout GitHub org.

  note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list derived
    from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported mcp_server
    correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
