WHAT IT DOES

What stop_wireless_listener does on Pentester-MCP

AI agents invoke stop_wireless_listener 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_wireless_listener is rated High

This tool invokes an external operation (process termination via PID) whose effects depend on the argument provided (the PID value). While not destructive in the data-deletion sense, it executes system commands that interrupt active processes.

From the tool's definition Terminates a background wireless process using its PID. The tool executes a system-level operation that kills an active process, affecting running services.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs stop_wireless_listener 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_wireless_listener, this is the rule to start with:

stop_wireless_listener Rate-limited

stop_wireless_listener 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.

FAQ

Questions about stop_wireless_listener

What does the stop_wireless_listener tool do? +

Terminates a background wireless process using its PID. 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_wireless_listener? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit stop_wireless_listener? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the stop_wireless_listener 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_wireless_listener completely? +

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

stop_wireless_listener 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.
