sqlmap_scan · Bug Bounty MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What sqlmap_scan does on Bug Bounty MCP Server

AI agents invoke sqlmap_scan to trigger actions in Bug Bounty 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_scan needs a policy

This tool executes SQLMap, an active exploitation framework that sends attack payloads to a target database-driven application. It can enumerate databases, extract data, and in some configurations write files or execute OS commands. The blast radius is critical: misuse could compromise databases, exfiltrate sensitive data, or trigger destructive SQL operations on production systems.

From the tool's definition "Execute SQLMap for SQL injection testing" — actively runs the SQLMap tool against a target to probe and exploit SQL injection vulnerabilities
