What cloudmapper_analysis does on Nyxstrike
AI agents invoke cloudmapper_analysis to trigger actions in Nyxstrike. 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.

CloudMapper is a well-known open-source tool for analyzing AWS environments, mapping cloud infrastructure, and identifying attack surfaces. On an offensive security platform alongside tools like 'ai_reconnaissance_workflow' and 'ai_vulnerability_assessment', this tool likely executes cloud enumeration and analysis operations.

The rule that runs cloudmapper_analysis safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nyxstrike, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For cloudmapper_analysis, this is the rule to start with:
cloudmapper_analysis 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Nyxstrike, apply this rule, and every cloudmapper_analysis call is checked against it from then on.
