Why get_collection_results needs a policy

The tool appears to query and return forensic collection results from Velociraptor endpoints. While it is a Read operation (no side effects), severity is elevated to medium because forensic data can contain sensitive information about systems, processes, network connections, and user activity that could be exploited if retrieved without authorization or used to inform further attacks.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_collection_results' implies retrieval of previously collected forensic data. Empty description limits certainty, but context (Velociraptor forensic triage bridge) and sibling tools like 'collect_artifact' and 'collect_forensic_triage' suggest…

How to control get_collection_results

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 get_collection_results:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_collection_results": {}
  }
}

get_collection_results is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Velociraptor MCP — 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.
