Why hunter_search needs a policy

The hunter_search tool queries a cyberspace mapping platform to retrieve information about IP, port, and domain data. This is a read-only operation that retrieves existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. While the underlying data could theoretically be sensitive (asset discovery results), the tool itself performs no write, destructive, or execution operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Search Hunter... cyberspace mapping platform' with query syntax for field-based searching. The verb 'Search' and context of 'asset discovery' indicate data retrieval with no modification capabilities.

How to control hunter_search

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

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

hunter_search 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 FOFA Quake Hunter MCP Server — 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.
