WHAT IT DOES

What report_vuln does on Claude Flow

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

RISK

Why report_vuln is rated Low

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs report_vuln safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Claude Flow, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For report_vuln, this is the rule to start with:

report_vuln Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "report_vuln": {}
  }
}

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

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