WHAT IT DOES

What send_remote_command does on Claude C2

AI agents invoke send_remote_command 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.

RISK

Why send_remote_command is rated High

This tool sends commands to remote clients, enabling arbitrary code/command execution on external machines. The server context ('command and control of remote systems') and sibling tools (amsi_bypass, bypassuac, browser_creds, defender_exclude) strongly indicate this is a C2 (command-and-control) framework. Misuse could result in full remote system compromise across multiple platforms, making this critical severity.

From the tool's definition 'Send a command to a remote client' — directly executes arbitrary commands on remote systems

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

send_remote_command Rate-limited

send_remote_command 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 send_remote_command call is checked against it from then on.
