What run_bloodyad does on Pentester-MCP
AI agents invoke run_bloodyad to trigger actions in Pentester-MCP. 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.
Why run_bloodyad is rated High

The rule that runs run_bloodyad safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Pentester-MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For run_bloodyad, this is the rule to start with:
run_bloodyad 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 Pentester-MCP, apply this rule, and every run_bloodyad call is checked against it from then on.
