WHAT IT DOES

What get_findings does on Pentest Ai

AI agents call get_findings 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_findings is rated Low

The tool name follows the 'get_*' pattern typical of read operations that query and retrieve data without side effects. While the empty description lowers confidence slightly, the server context (autonomous pentests generating audit-ready reports) and the sibling tool 'generate_report' suggest 'get_findings' retrieves previously generated findings.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_findings' indicates retrieval of findings data. The description is empty, but the name and context of a pentest-ai server suggest this retrieves security test results rather than modifying them.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_findings 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_findings, this is the rule to start with:

get_findings Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

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

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_findings call is checked against it from then on.
