## Why vault_creds is rated Low

This tool retrieves sensitive data (Windows Vault credentials) without modifying or deleting it, placing it in the Read category. However, the severity is high because credential theft is a critical security risk—compromised credentials could enable account takeover, lateral movement, and unauthorized access to protected resources.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'vault_creds' and description 'Get Windows Vault credentials' indicates retrieval of stored credentials from the Windows Vault system."

## Use case

AI agents call vault_creds 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Claude C2:

```json
{
  "version": "1",

  "tools": {
    "vault_creds": {}
  }
