Scan History

Every scan Surface performs is recorded, whichever way it was submitted — the dashboard, the REST API, the MCP server, or the offline scanner binary. Scan History is where you go back and look at them.

The Scan History page listing past scans with their verdicts and timestamps Each row is one scan: what was submitted, the verdict, the safety score, and when it ran.

What each row shows

Column Meaning
Name The filename, or the label you passed when scanning a payload
Type file or payload
Threat level Clean, Informational, Suspicious, or Malicious
Score Safety score from 0 to 100 — higher is safer
Date When the scan completed

Click any row to open the full result: the recommended action, confidence, primary threat, the indicators found, and which engines contributed. See Getting Started for a walkthrough of a result.

Finding a specific scan

The list is newest-first and paginated. If you are trying to work out why an IP was blocked, find the scan that triggered it here — the block and the scan share a timestamp. See Blocked IPs.

Retention

Scans are kept for your plan's retention window, after which they are removed automatically. A scan that has aged out cannot be recovered, so export anything you need to keep — see Data Retention.
