WHAT IT DOES

What process_suspend does on Jshookmcp

AI agents invoke process_suspend to trigger actions in Jshookmcp. 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.

RISK

Why process_suspend is rated High

Suspending a process affects running system state and requires elevated privileges.

From the tool's definition Suspend a process... NtSuspendProcess, SIGSTOP, task_suspend

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs process_suspend safely

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

process_suspend Rate-limited

process_suspend 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 Jshookmcp, apply this rule, and every process_suspend call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about process_suspend

What does the process_suspend tool do? +

Suspend a process for forensic snapshotting. Cross-platform: NtSuspendProcess (Win32), SIGSTOP (Linux), task_suspend (macOS). Pair with process_resume to restore. Use before memory_scan/dump for a consistent snapshot. Requires admin/root on most platforms. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Jshookmcp MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on process_suspend? +

Register the Jshook MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for process_suspend: 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 Jshookmcp. Nothing to install.

What risk level is process_suspend? +

process_suspend is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit process_suspend? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the process_suspend 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.

How do I block process_suspend completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for process_suspend. 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 process_suspend? +

process_suspend is provided by the Jshook MCP server (@jshookmcp/jshook). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
