List CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) categories ranked by vulnerability count.
AI agents call list_cwes to retrieve information from Exploit Intel Platform 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 displays aggregate vulnerability data from the CWE database. It performs no side effects, executes no code, modifies no data, and has no destructive or financial implications. The blast radius of misuse is negligible—an AI agent cannot cause harm by listing CWE categories. Severity is low because the information returned is already public and non-sensitive in nature.
From the tool's definition Tool is described as 'List CWE categories ranked by vulnerability count' - a purely informational retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, execution, or financial impact.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) categories ranked by vulnerability count. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Exploit Intel Platform MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Exploit Intel Platform MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_cwes: 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 Exploit Intel Platform MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_cwes 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 list_cwes 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 list_cwes. 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.
list_cwes is provided by the Exploit Intel Platform MCP Server MCP server (oyaaiprod/eip-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
