MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous DefectDojo MCP Server tools

Write · Medium add_finding_note This tool creates or appends a note to a finding, which is a write operation that modifies data reversibly. Write · High close_engagement Closing an engagement changes its status in DefectDojo, which is a state modification. Write · Medium create_engagement The tool creates a new engagement record, which is a reversible write operation. Write · Medium create_finding This tool creates new vulnerability findings in DefectDojo, which modifies the vulnerability database reversibly.

6 of DefectDojo MCP Server's 11 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control DefectDojo MCP Server

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and DefectDojo MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "add_finding_note": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "add_finding_note_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "get_engagement": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_engagement_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
