List or get information about available NetExec modules for a protocol.
AI agents call nxc_modules to retrieve information from Sec Netexec without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves and displays information about available NetExec modules for a given protocol. It performs no network actions, executes no commands against targets, and has no side effects — it is purely informational/read-only. Low severity since misuse only exposes module metadata.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List or get information about available NetExec modules for a protocol. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sec Netexec MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sec Netexec MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for nxc_modules: 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 Sec Netexec. Nothing to install.
nxc_modules 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 nxc_modules 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 nxc_modules. 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.
nxc_modules is provided by the Sec Netexec MCP server (schwarztim/sec-netexec-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
