WHAT IT DOES

What run_campaign does on Nitrostack

AI agents invoke run_campaign to trigger actions in Nitrostack. 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.

RISK

Why run_campaign is rated High

Executes security testing operations with autonomous loops; uncontrolled execution poses significant risk.

From the tool's definition Launch autonomous red-team campaign, evaluates mutated prompts continuously

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs run_campaign safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nitrostack, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For run_campaign, this is the rule to start with:

run_campaign Rate-limited

run_campaign stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
