tool_safe_passive_recon_workflow
AI agents call tool_safe_passive_recon_workflow to retrieve information from ScopePilot MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Passive reconnaissance typically involves querying publicly available data and observing responses without active exploitation. This aligns with the Read category. However, the empty description lowers confidence significantly. Given the server's security testing context and sibling tools (crawl, probe, JS extraction), there is some chance this tool does more than passive observation.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'passive_recon' suggesting passive reconnaissance, and the server description mentions 'reconnaissance' and 'attack surface inventory' as core use cases.

tool_safe_passive_recon_workflow. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ScopePilot MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ScopePilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for tool_safe_passive_recon_workflow: 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 ScopePilot MCP. Nothing to install.
tool_safe_passive_recon_workflow 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 tool_safe_passive_recon_workflow 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 tool_safe_passive_recon_workflow. 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.
tool_safe_passive_recon_workflow is provided by the ScopePilot MCP server (rens1215/scopepilot-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
