What execute_assembly does on Claude C2
AI agents invoke execute_assembly to trigger actions in Claude C2. 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.
Why execute_assembly is rated High
This tool directly executes code (arbitrary .NET assemblies) in memory on remote systems. This is quintessentially an Execute category action - it triggers external operations (assembly execution) whose effects depend on the arguments (which assembly is loaded).
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Load and execute .NET assembly in memory' - these are execution operations. The sibling tools on this server (amsi_bypass, bypassuac, defender_exclude, browser_creds, clipboard) indicate this server is designed for offensive…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs execute_assembly safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Claude C2, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For execute_assembly, this is the rule to start with:
execute_assembly 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Claude C2, apply this rule, and every execute_assembly call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about execute_assembly
Load and execute .NET assembly in memory. Auto-selects client if only one connected. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Claude C2 MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Claude C2 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for execute_assembly: 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 Claude C2. Nothing to install.
execute_assembly 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 execute_assembly 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 execute_assembly. 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.
execute_assembly is provided by the Claude C2 MCP server (0xyg3n/claude-c2). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
