WHAT IT DOES

What create_security_scan does on Claude MCP Server Ecosystem

AI agents invoke create_security_scan to trigger actions in Claude MCP Server Ecosystem. 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 create_security_scan is rated High

A security scan actively probes systems, networks, or applications for vulnerabilities. This is not a passive read — it sends requests/probes to external or internal targets, which can trigger alerts, consume resources, affect target system behavior, and potentially be detected as an attack. It spans Execute because it triggers an external operation whose effects depend on the scan target and parameters.

From the tool's definition 'Create a new security scan' — initiates an active scanning operation against a target, which constitutes triggering an external operation with side effects beyond simple data retrieval.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_security_scan safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Claude MCP Server Ecosystem, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_security_scan, this is the rule to start with:

create_security_scan Rate-limited

create_security_scan 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.
