Terminates a background sqlmap os-shell process.
AI agents invoke stop_sqlmap_os_shell 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.
While the tool itself performs termination (which might superficially appear as a control action), it operates on an os-shell process—a live execution context spawned by sqlmap for arbitrary command execution. In the context of a penetration testing framework, managing os-shell processes inherently relates to Execute category: the tool controls access to code/command execution capabilities.
From the tool's definition Tool terminates a background sqlmap os-shell process. The description indicates it manages an active os-shell context created by sqlmap, which is a SQL injection exploitation tool that executes arbitrary operating system commands.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access stop_sqlmap_os_shell gives an agent:
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 stop_sqlmap_os_shell:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"stop_sqlmap_os_shell": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "stop_sqlmap_os_shell_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
} stop_sqlmap_os_shell 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.
Free to start. No card required.
Terminates a background sqlmap os-shell 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.
Register the Pentester- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for stop_sqlmap_os_shell: 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_sqlmap_os_shell 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_sqlmap_os_shell 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_sqlmap_os_shell. 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_sqlmap_os_shell 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.
Start from Pentester-MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
