WHAT IT DOES

What droopescan does on MCP Kali Pentest

AI agents invoke droopescan to trigger actions in MCP Kali Pentest. 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why droopescan needs a policy

droopescan is an active security scanner that probes remote Drupal and SilverStripe installations for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and version information. It performs external operations against target systems whose effects depend on the target URL provided. This goes beyond passive reading — it sends crafted HTTP requests to enumerate plugins, themes, and versions, constituting active scanning (Execute).
