WHAT IT DOES

What get_download does on Cobalt Strike MCP Server

AI agents call get_download to retrieve information from Cobalt Strike MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_download is rated Low

The tool itself performs a read-only query operation (Get download information), fitting the Read category. Severity is high rather than low/medium because the context involves accessing information about downloads in an adversarial toolkit where misuse could reveal exfiltrated data, command payloads, or operational details.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_download' and description 'Get download information by ID' indicate retrieval of data without modification.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_download safely

get_download Allowed

get_download is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "tools": {
    "get_download": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Cobalt Strike MCP Server, apply this rule, and every get_download call is checked against it from then on.
