What run_find_delegation does on Pentester-MCP

AI agents invoke run_find_delegation 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_find_delegation needs a policy

The 'run_' prefix combined with the server's stated purpose of enabling autonomous execution of pentesting tools strongly suggests this tool executes an external operation or command. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the server context and naming convention are clear indicators of execution capability.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'run_find_delegation' with 'run_' prefix indicates execution; server is explicitly a penetration testing platform enabling autonomous execution of 'over 200 open-source penetration testing tools' including 'reconnaissance, web exploitation, and…

How to control run_find_delegation

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 run_find_delegation:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "run_find_delegation": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "run_find_delegation_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

run_find_delegation 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.

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