What record_role does on Intellirecon Console
AI agents use record_role to create or update resources in Intellirecon Console, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Intellirecon Console environment.
Why record_role is rated Medium
This tool writes/stores discovered role and privilege information about a target into the recon console's data store. It creates or updates reconnaissance notes/records, which is a reversible write operation. Within a security recon context, storing privilege escalation findings could aid attackers, raising severity to medium, but the action itself is a data write rather than execution or destruction.

The rule that runs record_role 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 record_role, this is the rule to start with:
record_role stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes 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 record_role call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about record_role
Record a role/privilege level discovered in the target. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Intellirecon Console MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Intellirecon Console MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for record_role: 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 Intellirecon Console. Nothing to install.
record_role is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the record_role 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 record_role. 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.
record_role is provided by the Intellirecon Console MCP server (dokotela021/intellirecon-console). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
