What docker_bench_security_scan does on Hexstrike Ai
AI agents invoke docker_bench_security_scan to trigger actions in Hexstrike Ai. 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 docker_bench_security_scan is rated High
The tool name references Docker Bench Security, a well-known script that audits Docker host and container configurations against CIS benchmarks. This involves executing a security scanning script against a Docker environment. Given the offensive security context of the HexStrike AI server (pentesting, vulnerability discovery), this likely executes an active scan against Docker infrastructure.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs docker_bench_security_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 docker_bench_security_scan, this is the rule to start with:
docker_bench_security_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 docker_bench_security_scan call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about docker_bench_security_scan
docker_bench_security_scan is a execute tool on the Hexstrike Ai MCP server. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Hexstrike Ai MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Hexstrike Ai MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for docker_bench_security_scan: 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 Hexstrike Ai. Nothing to install.
docker_bench_security_scan 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 docker_bench_security_scan 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 docker_bench_security_scan. 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.
docker_bench_security_scan is provided by the Hexstrike Ai MCP server (0x4m4/hexstrike-ai). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
