AI agents call windows_netstat_enriched to retrieve information from Velociraptor MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
windows_netstat_enriched retrieves forensic/diagnostic information from a Windows endpoint for investigation purposes. It performs no side effects, modifications, or code execution—only querying existing network state and process metadata via filters. This is purely a Read operation with low blast radius if misused by an agent (information disclosure only).
From the tool's definition Tool lists network connections (netstat) with process metadata; all arguments are filters (IPRegex, PortRegex, ProcessNameRegex, ProcessPathRegex, CommandLineRegex, UsernameRegex) that query and retrieve data without modifying or executing anything on the…

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 windows_netstat_enriched:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"windows_netstat_enriched": {}
}
}windows_netstat_enriched is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List network connections (netstat) with process metadata on a Windows host. Args: client_id: Velociraptor client ID. org_id: Optional Velociraptor org ID for multi-tenant deployments. IPRegex: Regex to filter remote/local IP addresses. PortRegex: Regex to filter local/remote ports (e.g., '^443$'). ProcessNameRegex: Regex to filter process names. ProcessPathRegex: Regex to filter full process paths. CommandLineRegex: Regex to filter command-line arguments. UsernameRegex: Regex to filter user accounts associated with the process. Fields: Comma-separated list of fields to return. Returns: Netstat results as a string or error message. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Velociraptor MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Velociraptor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for windows_netstat_enriched: 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.
windows_netstat_enriched is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the windows_netstat_enriched 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 windows_netstat_enriched. 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.
windows_netstat_enriched 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.
