Path Traversal, 파일 업로드, 경로 조작 등 검사
AI agents call scan-path to retrieve information from Security Scanner MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs static analysis to detect path traversal and related vulnerabilities in code. It retrieves and analyzes information about potential security flaws but does not execute code, modify files, delete data, or trigger external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—at worst, a false positive or false negative in vulnerability detection.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'scan-path' and description indicate it 'checks' (검사) for path traversal, file upload, and path manipulation vulnerabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Path Traversal, 파일 업로드, 경로 조작 등 검사. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Security Scanner MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Security Scanner MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for scan-path: 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 Security Scanner MCP. Nothing to install.
scan-path 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 scan-path 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 scan-path. 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.
scan-path is provided by the Security Scanner MCP server (ongjin/security-scanner-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
