What msfvenom_generate does on Intellirecon Console
AI agents invoke msfvenom_generate to trigger actions in Intellirecon Console. 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.

Even though the description is empty, the tool name unambiguously refers to generating offensive security payloads.

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