What keylog_dump does on Claude C2
AI agents call keylog_dump to retrieve information from Claude C2 without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why keylog_dump is rated Low
While keylog_dump performs a read operation (retrieves data with no immediate modification or deletion), it accesses extremely sensitive information—captured keystrokes—which could include passwords, credentials, private messages, and authentication tokens.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'keylog_dump' and description 'Get captured keystrokes' indicate retrieval of previously captured keyboard input data. The 'Auto-selects client' qualifier shows it operates across multiple system contexts.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs keylog_dump 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 keylog_dump, this is the rule to start with:
keylog_dump is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 keylog_dump call is checked against it from then on.
