WHAT IT DOES

What delete_listener does on Cobalt Strike MCP Server

AI agents call delete_listener to permanently remove resources in Cobalt Strike MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why delete_listener is rated Critical

Deleting a listener from a Cobalt Strike teamserver is an irreversible operation that destroys a configured network component. This cannot be undone without manual reconfiguration. In the context of red team operations, a listener is a critical infrastructure component for command and control. Destruction of listeners is irreversible and represents loss of operational capability.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_listener' and description states 'Delete/remove a listener from the teamserver'. The use of 'Delete' and 'remove' indicates irreversible removal of a configured listener resource.
