WHAT IT DOES

What stop_ntlmrelayx does on Pentester-MCP

AI agents invoke stop_ntlmrelayx 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 stop_ntlmrelayx is rated High

While 'stop' might suggest a benign operation, this tool controls the execution state of ntlmrelayx, a sophisticated attack tool used in penetration testing. The ability to stop/start attack processes grants significant control over security testing operations.

From the tool's definition The tool terminates a background ntlmrelayx process. ntlmrelayx is a penetration testing tool that performs NTLM relay attacks—a network exploitation technique. Terminating such a process constitutes control over an active attack operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs stop_ntlmrelayx 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_ntlmrelayx, this is the rule to start with:

stop_ntlmrelayx Rate-limited

stop_ntlmrelayx 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_ntlmrelayx call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about stop_ntlmrelayx

What does the stop_ntlmrelayx tool do? +

Terminates a background ntlmrelayx process. 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 stop_ntlmrelayx? +

Register the Pentester MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for stop_ntlmrelayx: 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 stop_ntlmrelayx? +

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

Can I rate-limit stop_ntlmrelayx? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the stop_ntlmrelayx 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 stop_ntlmrelayx completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for stop_ntlmrelayx. 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 stop_ntlmrelayx? +

stop_ntlmrelayx 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.
