Why convert_ticket needs a policy

The description is empty, so there is no direct evidence of what this tool does. The name 'convert_ticket' could relate to Kerberos ticket conversion (e.g., ccache to keytab) in a pentesting context, which would be an Execute-level operation, but without description this is speculative. Given the server context (penetration testing), it may relate to credential/ticket manipulation, but confidence is low.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'convert_ticket' and description is empty or uninformative.

POLICY

How to control convert_ticket

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Pentester-MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for convert_ticket:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "convert_ticket": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "convert_ticket_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

convert_ticket gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Pentester-MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
