What sicry_crawl does on Sicry

AI agents invoke sicry_crawl to trigger actions in Sicry. 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.

High Risk

Why sicry_crawl needs a policy

This tool actively crawls .onion (dark web) sites, executing a depth-first spider operation and writing extracted data to a SQLite database. It spans Execute (running a web crawler over Tor) and Write (storing data in SQLite). The most severe applicable category is Execute.

From the tool's definition Spider a .onion site depth-first. Extracts entities, stores in SQLite.

How to control sicry_crawl

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Sicry, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for sicry_crawl:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "sicry_crawl": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "sicry_crawl_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

sicry_crawl 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Sicry — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
