Scan for AI worm signatures and self-replicating malware patterns. 1900+ known worm patterns.
AI agents call worm_scan to retrieve information from Oracle-42 DarkIntel MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs a scan/detection operation, querying against a database of 1900+ known worm patterns. This is a read/query activity — it retrieves threat intelligence by matching signatures — with no indication it executes, modifies, or deletes data.
From the tool's definition 'Scan for AI worm signatures and self-replicating malware patterns. 1900+ known worm patterns.'
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Scan for AI worm signatures and self-replicating malware patterns. 1900+ known worm patterns. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Oracle-42 DarkIntel MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Oracle-42 DarkIntel MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for worm_scan: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Oracle-42 DarkIntel MCP. Nothing to install.
worm_scan is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the worm_scan rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for worm_scan. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
worm_scan is provided by the Oracle-42 DarkIntel MCP server (mintmas/oracle42-darkintel-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
