## Why get_listener_smb is rated Low

This tool retrieves configuration and status information about an SMB listener in a Cobalt Strike red team framework. While the severity is high due to the sensitive nature of red team operational security details (listener IPs, ports, status, configuration), the tool itself performs no destructive, executable, or financial actions—it only queries and returns listener metadata.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_listener_smb' combined with description 'Get SMB listener details' indicates data retrieval with no modification. The verb 'get' and 'details' confirm read-only semantics."

## Use case

AI agents call get_listener_smb 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Cobalt Strike MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_listener_smb": {}
  }
}
```
