WHAT IT DOES

What run_smugglex does on Pentester-MCP

AI agents invoke run_smugglex 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.

RISK

Why run_smugglex is rated High

HTTP request smuggling tools execute attacks against web applications to exploit protocol vulnerabilities and achieve code execution or request manipulation. The effects depend entirely on the target specified by the agent and could compromise web servers or applications. This is Execute-level risk: triggering external operations (attacks on remote systems) whose outcomes depend on arguments.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'run_smugglex' on a penetration testing server that 'enables AI assistants to autonomously execute over 200 open-source penetration testing tools' including 'web exploitation'.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs run_smugglex 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_smugglex, this is the rule to start with:

run_smugglex Rate-limited

run_smugglex 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_smugglex call is checked against it from then on.
