WHAT IT DOES

What get_config does on Pentest Ai

AI agents call get_config to retrieve information from Pentest Ai without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_config is rated Low

This tool retrieves configuration data without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. The masking of secrets further suggests this is a safe introspection endpoint designed for visibility only. Even in a pentest context, reading configuration is a passive information-gathering activity with minimal blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_config' and description states 'Get current pentest-ai configuration (secrets masked).' The verb 'Get' and action of retrieving configuration indicates a read-only query operation with no side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_config safely

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

get_config Allowed

get_config is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_config": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Pentest Ai, apply this rule, and every get_config call is checked against it from then on.
