JavaScript library vulnerability scanner
AI agents call retire to retrieve information from PenTest MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and analyzes vulnerability data about JavaScript libraries (Read category). It has no capability to modify, delete, or execute code on target systems. Severity is medium rather than low because vulnerability information could be used to inform attacks, and in a misused context an agent might over-report or misuse scan results, but the tool itself performs passive reconnaissance only.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'vulnerability scanner' which performs information gathering and analysis of JavaScript libraries to identify known vulnerabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
JavaScript library vulnerability scanner. It is categorised as a Read tool in the PenTest MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the PenTest MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for retire: 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 PenTest MCP Server. Nothing to install.
retire 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 retire 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 retire. 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.
retire is provided by the PenTest MCP Server MCP server (mohitsahoo/mcptoolforwebvulnerabilities-). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
