## Pricing

from $50.00 / 1,000 sbom policy evaluateds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## SBOM Policy Evidence Gate

Deterministically evaluate bounded inline CycloneDX JSON 1.5/1.6 or SPDX JSON
2.3 SBOMs against a versioned technical policy. The Actor emits stable dataset
evidence, normalized JSON reports, SARIF 2.1.0, hashes, and fingerprints.

The v1 runtime is offline. It does not fetch schemas, query vulnerability
services, scan repositories or images, validate attestations, or provide legal
license/compliance conclusions. See `PRODUCT_SPEC.md` and
`DEPENDENCY_LICENSING_FIXTURE_PRECHECK.md`.

# Actor input Schema

## `items` (type: `array`):

CycloneDX JSON 1.5/1.6 or SPDX JSON 2.3 documents evaluated independently.

## `policy` (type: `object`):

Deterministic provenance, component, relationship, and license checks applied to every SBOM.

## `maxSbomBytes` (type: `integer`):

Reject an SBOM when its canonical JSON representation exceeds this byte limit.

## `maxComponents` (type: `integer`):

Reject an SBOM when its component count exceeds this limit.

## `maxRelationships` (type: `integer`):

Reject an SBOM when its relationship count exceeds this limit.

## `maxFindings` (type: `integer`):

Stop collecting findings for an SBOM after this limit is reached.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ceddl/sbom-policy-evidence-gate"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
