# get_task Get detailed information about a specific task by ID Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_task`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/get-task ## Facts - Tool: `get_task` - 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: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_task", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_task is rated Low This tool retrieves task details by ID without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. However, the severity is elevated to 'high' because the server context (Cobalt Strike red team operations) indicates this tool provides access to sensitive operational data about beacon activities, command execution results, and attack orchestration—information that could be extremely valuable to an adversary if misused by a… From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description indicate retrieval: 'Get detailed information about a specific task by ID'. The verb 'get' and 'information' clearly denote a read operation with no modification." ## Use case AI agents call get_task 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_task": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Cobalt Strike MCP Server (219) - `beacon_delete_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/beacon-delete-file.md - `clear_beacon_command_queue` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/clear-beacon-command-queue.md - `delete_credential` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/delete-credential.md - `delete_listener` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/delete-listener.md - `delete_listener_dns` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/delete-listener-dns.md - `delete_listener_externalC2` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/delete-listener-externalc2.md - `delete_listener_foreignHttp` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/delete-listener-foreignhttp.md - `delete_listener_foreignHttps` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/delete-listener-foreignhttps.md - `delete_listener_http` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/delete-listener-http.md - `delete_listener_https` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/delete-listener-https.md - `delete_listener_smb` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/delete-listener-smb.md - `delete_listener_tcp` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/delete-listener-tcp.md - `delete_listener_userDefinedC2` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/delete-listener-userdefinedc2.md - `execute_kerberos_ticket_purge` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/execute-kerberos-ticket-purge.md - `execute_socks_stop_all` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/execute-socks-stop-all.md - `execute_tokenStore_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/execute-tokenstore-remove.md - `execute_tokenStore_removeAll` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/execute-tokenstore-removeall.md - `kill_beacon` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/kill-beacon.md - `reset_data` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/reset-data.md - `beacon_change_directory` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/beacon-change-directory.md - `beacon_copy_file` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/beacon-copy-file.md - `create_listener` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/create-listener.md - `create_listener_dns` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/create-listener-dns.md - `create_listener_externalC2` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/create-listener-externalc2.md - `create_listener_foreignHttp` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/create-listener-foreignhttp.md - `create_listener_foreignHttps` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/create-listener-foreignhttps.md - `create_listener_http` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/create-listener-http.md - `create_listener_https` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/create-listener-https.md - `create_listener_smb` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/create-listener-smb.md - `create_listener_tcp` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/create-listener-tcp.md - …and 189 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
