Why run_sambapipe needs a policy

SambaPipe executes exploitation code against Samba services, triggering external operations whose effects depend on target configuration and arguments. This fits Execute category: it runs code/tools whose outcomes depend on parameters and target state.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'run_sambapipe' combined with Pentester-MCP server context which explicitly enables 'autonomous execution' of 'penetration testing tools' including 'web exploitation' and 'brute-forcing.' Sibling tools like 'execute_weevely_module',…

POLICY

How to control run_sambapipe

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_sambapipe:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "run_sambapipe": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "run_sambapipe_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

run_sambapipe 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.

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.

FAQ

Questions about run_sambapipe

What does the run_sambapipe tool do? +

run_sambapipe. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Pentester-MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on run_sambapipe? +

Register the Pentester- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for run_sambapipe: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Pentester-MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is run_sambapipe? +

run_sambapipe is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit run_sambapipe? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the run_sambapipe rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block run_sambapipe completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for run_sambapipe. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides run_sambapipe? +

run_sambapipe is provided by the Pentester- MCP server (halilkirazkaya/pentester-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Pentester-MCP tool call.

Start from Pentester-MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
