Get domain password policies and fine-grained password policies (PSOs). Returns lockout thresholds, password length requirements, etc.
AI agents call ldapdomaindump_policies to retrieve information from ldapdomaindump MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs reconnaissance by querying Active Directory to retrieve password policy information. While it has no side effects and performs only read operations, the medium severity reflects that password policy information is valuable intelligence for attackers planning attacks (e.g., brute-force strategies), and the tool is explicitly described as enabling 'reconnaissance' on a remote domain.
From the tool's definition The tool description states it 'Get[s] domain password policies and fine-grained password policies' and 'Returns lockout thresholds, password length requirements, etc.' The verb 'Get' and 'Returns' indicate pure data retrieval with no modification or…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get domain password policies and fine-grained password policies (PSOs). Returns lockout thresholds, password length requirements, etc. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ldapdomaindump MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ldapdomaindump MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ldapdomaindump_policies: 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 ldapdomaindump MCP Server. Nothing to install.
ldapdomaindump_policies 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 ldapdomaindump_policies 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 ldapdomaindump_policies. 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.
ldapdomaindump_policies is provided by the ldapdomaindump MCP Server MCP server (schwarztim/sec-ldapdomaindump-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
