# execute_socks_stop_port Stop SOCKS proxy on specific port Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `execute_socks_stop_port`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/execute-socks-stop-port ## Facts - Tool: `execute_socks_stop_port` - Server: Cobalt Strike MCP Server (`mickeydb/cobalt-strike-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/MickeyDB/Cobalt-Strike-MCP - Risk category: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "execute_socks_stop_port", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why execute_socks_stop_port is rated High This tool executes a command to stop a SOCKS proxy service on a specified port. While not directly destructive (the proxy can be restarted), it is an Execute category action because it triggers an external operation whose effects depend on the port argument and directly impacts system services. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'execute' and description states 'Stop SOCKS proxy on specific port', indicating it triggers external operations that modify running services. Server context is 'Cobalt Strike red team operations' with 'beacon control' capabilities." ## Use case AI agents invoke execute_socks_stop_port to trigger actions in Cobalt Strike MCP Server. 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
