sqlmap_test · Kali Pentest MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What sqlmap_test does on Kali Pentest MCP Server

AI agents invoke sqlmap_test to trigger actions in Kali Pentest MCP Server. 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 sqlmap_test needs a policy

sqlmap does not merely read; it actively probes and can exploit SQL injection vulnerabilities, potentially dumping databases, bypassing authentication, or writing files to the target system. Even with whitelisting, misuse or misconfiguration could cause irreversible damage (data exfiltration, database corruption). The blast radius is critical because sqlmap can fully compromise a database server.

From the tool's definition sqlmap_test — runs sqlmap, an automated SQL injection exploitation tool, against targets; description states 'Test for SQL injection vulnerabilities'
