What sublist3r_scan does on Kali Security MCP

AI agents call sublist3r_scan to retrieve information from Kali Security MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why sublist3r_scan is rated Low

Sublist3r is a subdomain enumeration tool used for reconnaissance. It queries DNS records, search engines, and other sources to discover subdomains. This is a Read/information-gathering operation. However, on a penetration testing server alongside active attack tools, the enumeration results directly feed offensive workflows, raising the severity to medium despite the read-only nature of the tool itself.

From the tool's definition 子域名枚举 (subdomain enumeration) — passive/active reconnaissance that discovers subdomains; no modification or destruction of data
