Start a Windows.Triage.Targets basic triage collection and return flow metadata. Args: client_id: Velociraptor client ID. org_id: Optional Velociraptor org ID for multi-tenant deployments. Returns: Flow metadata for the started collection.
AI agents invoke collect_forensic_triage to trigger actions in Velociraptor MCP. 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.
This tool executes a triage collection process on a Windows client, which is a triggering action with effects determined by the Velociraptor platform's triage artifact definitions.
From the tool's definition The tool 'Start a Windows.Triage.Targets basic triage collection' performs an active operation that triggers a forensic collection workflow on a Windows endpoint, returning flow metadata.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access collect_forensic_triage gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Velociraptor MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for collect_forensic_triage:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"collect_forensic_triage": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "collect_forensic_triage_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}collect_forensic_triage 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.

Start a Windows.Triage.Targets basic triage collection and return flow metadata. Args: client_id: Velociraptor client ID. org_id: Optional Velociraptor org ID for multi-tenant deployments. Returns: Flow metadata for the started collection. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Velociraptor MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Velociraptor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for collect_forensic_triage: 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 Velociraptor MCP. Nothing to install.
collect_forensic_triage is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the collect_forensic_triage 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 collect_forensic_triage. 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.
collect_forensic_triage is provided by the Velociraptor MCP server (mgreen27/mcp-velociraptor). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Velociraptor MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
