WHAT IT DOES

What get_beacon_tasks_detail does on Cobalt Strike MCP Server

RISK

Why get_beacon_tasks_detail is rated Low

This tool retrieves task information about an active beacon in a Cobalt Strike operation. While it is purely a read operation (no side effects), the severity is high because the detailed task data could reveal sensitive red team operational plans, beacon status, and attack progress if exposed to an AI agent without proper controls.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_beacon_tasks_detail' and description 'Get detailed task information for a specific beacon' indicate data retrieval with no modification.
