WHAT IT DOES

What execute_steal_token does on Cobalt Strike MCP Server

AI agents invoke execute_steal_token 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.

RISK

Why execute_steal_token is rated High

While token theft could be framed as a read operation, the mechanism of stealing tokens from process memory is fundamentally an Execute action—it runs code/commands against target processes to extract credentials. This is more severe than passive reading because it actively manipulates process state and extracts sensitive authentication material.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'execute_steal_token' and description 'Steal a token from a process' indicate execution of a privileged operation that extracts authentication tokens from running processes, a capability central to Cobalt Strike red team operations.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs execute_steal_token safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Cobalt Strike MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For execute_steal_token, this is the rule to start with:

execute_steal_token Rate-limited

execute_steal_token stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
