# remoteExec_command Remotely execute a command on a target Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `remoteExec_command`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/remoteexec-command ## Facts - Tool: `remoteExec_command` - 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: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "remoteExec_command", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why remoteExec_command is rated High This tool performs remote command execution, which is the definition of the Execute category. The severity is critical because remote code execution on target systems has unrestricted blast radius—an AI agent could execute destructive, financial, or malicious commands depending on target permissions and adversary intent. The confidence is very high due to explicit language describing remote command execution. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description: 'Remotely execute a command on a target'. The tool name 'remoteExec_command' combined with the description explicitly states it executes commands remotely on target systems." ## Use case AI agents invoke remoteExec_command to trigger actions in Cobalt Strike MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
