WHAT IT DOES

What metasploit_run_module does on Hercules MCP

AI agents invoke metasploit_run_module to trigger actions in Hercules MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why metasploit_run_module is rated High

This tool executes Metasploit modules, which are payload delivery and exploitation mechanisms that trigger external code execution on remote systems. The effects are determined entirely by which module runs and its arguments, making this Execute category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'metasploit_run_module' combined with server purpose of 'performing professional penetration testing' and 'exposing industry-standard offensive security tools.' Metasploit modules execute arbitrary code/exploits against target systems.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs metasploit_run_module safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Hercules MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For metasploit_run_module, this is the rule to start with:

metasploit_run_module Rate-limited

metasploit_run_module stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
