Low Risk

turbopentest_list_scans

List all your penetration tests with their status and finding counts, ordered newest first. Use this to find pentest IDs, check which scans are running, or review past results. Supports filtering by status and limiting result count. Use turbopentest_get_scan with a specific ID for full details.

Single-target operation

Part of the TurboPentest MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call turbopentest_list_scans to retrieve information from TurboPentest without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though turbopentest_list_scans only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the turbopentest_list_scans tool do? +

List all your penetration tests with their status and finding counts, ordered newest first. Use this to find pentest IDs, check which scans are running, or review past results. Supports filtering by status and limiting result count. Use turbopentest_get_scan with a specific ID for full details.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TurboPentest MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on turbopentest_list_scans? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for turbopentest_list_scans. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the TurboPentest MCP server.

What risk level is turbopentest_list_scans? +

turbopentest_list_scans is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit turbopentest_list_scans? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the turbopentest_list_scans rule in your Intercept 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 turbopentest_list_scans completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for turbopentest_list_scans. 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 turbopentest_list_scans? +

turbopentest_list_scans is provided by the TurboPentest MCP server (integsec/turbopentest). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
