## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_screenshots",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## 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 own 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."

## Use case

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.

## 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": {
    "list_screenshots": {}
  }
}
```
