Run

TerminalAgent

Through ot mcp, an agent calls run_tool with this; ot asks you before anything that goes online or touches a target. Set it up: ot mcp install claude (or cursor, vscode, codex, gemini).

{"tool":"osintverse-community/phishtank-lookup","target":"https://example.com/","input_type":"url"}

Or just say: "Run osintverse-community/phishtank-lookup on https://example.com/ with OTInstaller." The registry's read-only MCP server at api.otinstaller.com/mcp can find tools without installing anything.

ot run osintverse-community/phishtank-lookup url:https://example.com/ --format table

ot install osintverse-community/phishtank-lookup

Python wheel, run in a read-only container (Docker optional with --native) · network allowed · no key · up to 1 min. The first ot run installs the tool after asking once. The example value is the registry's own test input, so this command has run. Drop --format table for JSON.

phishtank-lookup (community package)

This repository packages github.com/Lookyloo/PyPhishtankLookup for the OTInstaller Registry as osintverse-community/phishtank-lookup. The tool is the work of its authors, under the BSD-3-Clause license; this repository only holds the manifest and release workflow.

Report problems with the tool upstream, and problems with the packaging here. If you maintain the upstream project and want to publish it yourself, open an issue or run ot claim osintverse-community/phishtank-lookup: the package is transferred to you.

It installs the upstream project's own release from PyPI, pinned by version and hash; nothing here is rebuilt.

Queries CIRCL's public copy of the PhishTank feed, which needs no key. A URL that isn't in the feed prints null.
