There are more SCP-001 proposals than I knew about. I thought there were 3 or 4.. There are dozens and I haven't checked most of them. I will report back later. Much later.

Secure
The Foundation secures anomalies with the goal of preventing them from falling into the hands of civilian or rival agencies, through extensive observation and surveillance and by acting to intercept such anomalies at the earliest opportunity.
Contain
The Foundation contains anomalies with the goal of preventing their influence or effects from spreading, by either relocating, concealing, or dismantling such anomalies or by suppressing or preventing public dissemination of knowledge thereof.
Protect
The Foundation protects humanity from the effects of such anomalies as well as the anomalies themselves until such time that they are either fully understood or new theories of science can be devised based on their properties and behavior. The Foundation may also neutralize or destroy anomalies as an option of last resort, if they are determined to be too dangerous to be contained.

MODERATORS
Stop reading them. SCP-001-Xs are generated by people's knowledge of the one in existence in their natural timeline before being shifted to an alternate reality.
If you learn about the one in your natural timeline you become a inticing target for the SCP to shift you. Most timelines aren't habitable let alone hospitable to humans.
Pretty sure additional ones have been added over time, as my recollection was a half dozen or so but there are a ton now.
SCP-001 is an apex predator and the reason for gathering all the other SCP. The entire Foundation is a hypnotic mirage that has convinced humans to find and capture the things that would normally prey on them. 001 has turned the prey into an instrument of predation like the first spider to use webs to hunt - a meta strategy shift in the evolution and development of SCP creatures. And the best part is that no matter how many SCP are captured, containment is always temporary. Space is always available for more and more are being found all the time.
And by necessity this is forbidden knowledge. Humans may learn that they are little more than domestic animals, herded yet safe. Knowing that at any moment the thing which protects them can turn on them. Humans must find more SCP to prevent any lean times.
