Check what a site's cookie banner really blocks: CMP, trackers, cookies before consent.
Should I use this
Quality & Safety
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

Tool inventory
Tools (9)
🟢get_scan_summary(scanId)
Summary of a completed scan on the connected account: risk score (0 best, 100 worst), verdict, banner and consent platform, cookie and tracker counts, the top issues and the report link. Technical findings, not legal advice.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"scanId": {
"description": "The scanId returned by start_scan or list_scans",
"type": "string"
}
},
"required": [
"scanId"
]
}🟢get_scan_status(scanId)
Status of a scan on the connected account: queued, running, completed or failed, with the riskScore (0 best, 100 worst) once done. Technical findings, not legal advice.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"scanId": {
"description": "The scanId returned by start_scan or list_scans",
"type": "string"
}
},
"required": [
"scanId"
]
}🟢get_prescan_result(preScanId)
Return the result of a pre-scan started with prescan_site: riskScore (0 best, 100 worst, the same scale as the full report), risk level, how many cookies load before consent, up to five trackers by name, the consent platform and its confidence, Google Consent Mode status, three findings, and the report link. This is a header-and-HTML pre-scan, single page; the full scan with a real browser, evidence and fix guide requires a CookieInspector account. Technical findings, not legal advice.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"preScanId": {
"description": "The preScanId returned by prescan_site",
"type": "string"
}
},
"required": [
"preScanId"
]
}🟢start_scan(url, region, evaluateCcpa)
Start a full CookieInspector scan with a real browser (before and after the consent click, up to 5 pages) on the connected account. Optional region: main (US East), us-west, eu-de (Germany, for EU-targeted banners). Uses the plan's monthly scans. Returns a scanId to poll with get_scan_status, then get_scan_summary. Technical findings, not legal advice.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"url": {
"description": "The website to scan, absolute, e.g. https://example.com",
"type": "string"

"type": [
"boolean",

],
"default": null
}
},
"required": [
"url"
]
}🟢get_capabilities
Describe what CookieInspector checks on a website (cookies and trackers before and after the consent click, banner behaviour, consent platform, Google Consent Mode), which tools work without an account, which need a CookieInspector API key, and the quotas. Call this first when unsure which tool to use. Technical findings, not legal advice.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {}
}🟢list_scans(limit)
The most recent scans on the connected account, newest first (up to 20), each with its riskScore (0 best, 100 worst). Technical findings, not legal advice.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"limit": {
"description": "How many to return, 1 to 20. Default 10.",
"type": [
"integer",
"null"
],
"default": null
}
}
}🟢get_scan_findings(scanId)
The findings of a scan on the connected account, with severity, the affected resource and the recommendation, up to 25. Use explain_finding for what a code means. Technical findings, not legal advice.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"scanId": {
"description": "The scanId returned by start_scan or list_scans",
"type": "string"
}
},
"required": [
"scanId"
]
}🟢explain_finding(code)
Explain a CookieInspector finding code (e.g. THIRD_PARTY_PRE_CONSENT) or what to check in a named consent platform (e.g. Cookiebot). No network call. Technical findings, not legal advice.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"code": {
"description": "A finding code from a report, such as COOKIES_BEFORE_CONSENT, or a consent platform name such as OneTrust",
"type": "string"
}
},
"required": [
"code"
]
}🟢prescan_site(url)
Start a quick, anonymous pre-scan of a public website's home page: HTTP headers and HTML only, no real browser. Returns a preScanId to pass to get_prescan_result and a link to the report on cookieinspector.com. CookieInspector works alongside any consent platform; it checks what the banner actually does. Technical findings, not legal advice.

"type": "object",
"properties": {
"url": {
"description": "The website to check, e.g. example.com or https://example.com",
