Stop all SOCKS proxies
AI agents call execute_socks_stop_all 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.
Stopping all SOCKS proxies is an irreversible action that immediately terminates all active proxy connections and tunnels in a Cobalt Strike operation. This cannot be undone without reconfiguring and restarting each proxy individually.
From the tool's definition 'Stop all SOCKS proxies' - terminates all active SOCKS proxy tunnels irreversibly, disrupting active connections and tunnels
