- Homepage: https://github.com/0xSteph/pentest-ai
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no

- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "test_wireless",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why test_wireless is rated High

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 own definition: "'Run wireless security assessment (WiFi + Bluetooth)' — actively runs security assessment tools against wireless targets"

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Pentest Ai:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "test_wireless": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "test_wireless_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
