What list_screenshots does on Cobalt Strike MCP Server

AI agents call list_screenshots 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 list_screenshots is rated Low

This tool retrieves screenshot data collected by Cobalt Strike beacons without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. While the severity is high due to the sensitive nature of exfiltrated screenshots (which could contain credentials, proprietary information, or PII), the category is Read because it only queries existing data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_screenshots' and description 'List all screenshots captured from beacons' indicate data retrieval with no modification or deletion. The verb 'list' and passive phrase 'captured from' confirm query/retrieval semantics.
