Run wireless security assessment (WiFi + Bluetooth). Returns immediately with engagement_id; agent runs asynchronously.
AI agents invoke test_wireless to trigger actions in Pentest Ai. 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.
This tool executes real security scanning/assessment operations against wireless networks (WiFi and Bluetooth). It triggers external operations using real security tools, which could include probing, enumeration, or exploitation of wireless targets. The async execution model and engagement_id return pattern confirms it launches active operations.
From the tool's definition 'Run wireless security assessment (WiFi + Bluetooth)' — actively runs security assessment tools against wireless targets
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access test_wireless gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Pentest Ai, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for test_wireless:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"test_wireless": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "test_wireless_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}test_wireless 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.

Run wireless security assessment (WiFi + Bluetooth). Returns immediately with engagement_id; agent runs asynchronously. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Pentest Ai MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Pentest Ai MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for test_wireless: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Pentest Ai. Nothing to install.
test_wireless is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the test_wireless rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for test_wireless. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
test_wireless is provided by the Pentest Ai MCP server (0xsteph/pentest-ai). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
