How to control analyze_report_patterns ↓

AI agents call analyze_report_patterns to retrieve information from HackerOne MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool queries and analyzes existing report data to identify patterns (vulnerability types, severity distribution, resolution rates, programs). It performs no side effects, creates no new data, executes no code, and cannot delete or modify information. The 'analyze' function is analytical/computational over already-retrieved data, not an Execute category action that triggers external operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Fetch your recent reports and analyze patterns' - a retrieval and analysis operation with no modification or execution capability. Server description emphasizes 'read-only access' to HackerOne data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access analyze_report_patterns gives an agent:

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

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

analyze_report_patterns 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 HackerOne 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.
