inject_net_localGroup

What inject_net_localGroup does on Cobalt Strike MCP Server

AI agents call inject_net_localGroup 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.

Why inject_net_localGroup is rated Low

Enumeration is a read operation that gathers information about system configuration. However, in the context of Cobalt Strike (a red team/penetration testing framework), enumeration by an injected process is assigned 'medium' severity because it aids in lateral movement and privilege escalation reconnaissance, even though the tool itself performs no destructive or write operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'inject_net_localGroup' and description 'Enumerate local groups' indicate a reconnaissance/query operation that retrieves information about local groups on a target system without modifying data.

The rule that runs inject_net_localGroup 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 inject_net_localGroup, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "inject_net_localGroup": {}
  }
}
