From an AI agent, through ot's MCP server (`ot mcp`):

```
run_tool {"tool":"osintverse-community/censys-host","inputs":{"ip":"8.8.8.8"}}
```

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

## What a run does

- Does not contact the target.
- Does not collect personal data.
- Needs an account (it logs in, or uses an account or API key of yours).
- Does not notify the target.
- Usually takes about 3 seconds.
- Connects to api.platform.censys.io.

An agent needs the person's consent before running this tool, because it uses the person's own account or API key. See https://otinstaller.com/docs/agents#consent.

## API keys
