What arjun_scan does on Hexstrike Ai

Why arjun_scan is rated High
Arjun is a well-known HTTP parameter discovery tool used in penetration testing and bug bounty hunting. Given the server context — autonomous offensive security operations — this tool almost certainly runs active scanning against targets. The description is empty, so confidence is reduced, but the server context and tool name strongly imply active execution of network-based parameter fuzzing scans.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'arjun_scan' on a server dedicated to offensive security, automated pentesting, and vulnerability discovery with 150+ cybersecurity tools.

The rule that runs arjun_scan safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Hexstrike Ai, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For arjun_scan, this is the rule to start with:
arjun_scan 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 Hexstrike Ai, apply this rule, and every arjun_scan call is checked against it from then on.
