WHAT IT DOES

What get_telemetry does on Hexstrike Ai

AI agents call get_telemetry to retrieve information from Hexstrike Ai without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_telemetry is rated Low

This tool retrieves system telemetry data without modifying or deleting anything. However, the 'medium' severity reflects that telemetry from a pentesting server could expose sensitive operational details about active security testing campaigns, tool configurations, or infrastructure details that could be misused by an attacker if exfiltrated.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_telemetry' and description 'Get system telemetry from the HexStrike AI server' indicate data retrieval with no modification. The verb 'Get' and action 'telemetry' retrieval are read operations.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

get_telemetry Allowed

get_telemetry is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_telemetry": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Hexstrike Ai, apply this rule, and every get_telemetry call is checked against it from then on.
