What it does
- Asset inventory: browses, filters, and queries your PDCP asset inventory, including identified misconfigurations and asset labels
- Discovery scans: creates and triggers asset discovery scans, retrieves results, and rescans existing assets
- Nuclei templates: searches, retrieves, validates, and manages Nuclei templates from the PDCP template library for detection and verification
- Credential and secrets leak lookup: checks for exposed credentials and leaked secrets associated with your domains
- Team context: reads workspace and team-level context from PDCP to inform task scope and coverage
How it fits in
ProjectDiscovery Agent runs during the discovery phase when a task involves assets already inventoried in PDCP, or when Nuclei templates are needed for active detection. It reduces redundant scanning by pulling known asset data directly, and gives other testing agents a richer, pre-validated target list to work from.Some Nuclei templates interact directly with fragile hardware, printers and MFPs in particular, and can cause physical side effects like printed pages or a device reboot rather than a silent detection. When running templates against internal targets, see Safety Considerations for how to scope these out or run them deliberately.
