What stop_commix_session does on Pentester-MCP
AI agents invoke stop_commix_session 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 stop_commix_session is rated High
This tool triggers termination of an active exploitation session (pseudo-shell or reverse shell), which is an external operation with side effects on a live target system. While the action itself is 'stopping' rather than 'starting', it represents control over an active Execute primitive (shell handler).
From the tool's definition Tool terminates a background Commix session, including pseudo-shell or reverse shell handler. Commix is a command injection exploitation framework that establishes interactive shell access to target systems.

The rule that runs stop_commix_session 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 stop_commix_session, this is the rule to start with:
stop_commix_session 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 stop_commix_session call is checked against it from then on.

Terminates a background Commix session (pseudo-shell or reverse shell handler). 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.
Register the Pentester MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for stop_commix_session: 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.
stop_commix_session is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the stop_commix_session 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for stop_commix_session. 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.
stop_commix_session 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.
