# Policy Scan PDF (Legacy)

> Scan a PDF for security threats using a specific policy

<Warning>
  **Archived**: This endpoint is legacy. Use the new [Guardrail Scan PDF](/api-reference/guardrails-api-reference/endpoint/guardrail-scan-pdf) endpoint instead, which supports separate input/output detectors via `X-Enkrypt-Mode`.
</Warning>

      MCP Hub vulnerability scanning APIs. Submitting scans (the POST endpoints)
      is open to all authenticated callers. The scan **retrieval** APIs — Get
      Scan Job Status, Get Complete Scan Results, List Scans, and Get MCP Hub
      Scan Statistics (the GET endpoints) — are an **enterprise data-license
      feature**: they require your organization to have MCP Hub API access
      enabled by Enkrypt, otherwise they return `403`. Contact us at
      support@enkryptai.com to enable access.
