preview_entry

Generate and preview a single dataset entry for a specific scenario. Useful for quality inspection before generating the full dataset.

How to control preview_entry ↓

AI agents call preview_entry to retrieve information from OffensiveSET without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves and displays data (a preview of a generated dataset entry) without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, moving money, or triggering external operations. The most severe action is generating/querying data for display purposes, which falls squarely in the Read category.

From the tool's definition Tool generates and previews a single dataset entry for quality inspection before generating the full dataset. The verb "preview" and the stated purpose of inspection indicate read-only retrieval of generated content with no side effects or data modification.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access preview_entry gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OffensiveSET, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for preview_entry:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "preview_entry": {}
  }
}

preview_entry is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register OffensiveSET — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the preview_entry tool do? +

Generate and preview a single dataset entry for a specific scenario. Useful for quality inspection before generating the full dataset. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OffensiveSET MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on preview_entry? +

Register the OffensiveSET MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for preview_entry: 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 OffensiveSET. Nothing to install.

What risk level is preview_entry? +

preview_entry is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit preview_entry? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the preview_entry 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.

How do I block preview_entry completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for preview_entry. 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.

What MCP server provides preview_entry? +

preview_entry is provided by the OffensiveSET MCP server (pentesterflow/offensiveset). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every OffensiveSET tool call.
