Collect evidence of execution from Amcache on a Windows host.
AI agents call windows_execution_amcache to retrieve information from Velociraptor MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads forensic artifacts from Windows Amcache to retrieve execution history. It performs a query/collection operation on existing system data with no side effects, no code execution, no destructive actions, and no financial impact. While it accesses sensitive forensic information, the blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure rather than system compromise or data destruction.
From the tool's definition Tool name indicates 'Collect evidence of execution from Amcache' — Amcache is a Windows registry hive that stores historical execution data. The verb 'Collect' and context of 'evidence' indicate data retrieval without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Collect evidence of execution from Amcache on a Windows host. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Velociraptor MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Velociraptor MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for windows_execution_amcache: 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 Velociraptor MCP Server. Nothing to install.
windows_execution_amcache 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 windows_execution_amcache 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 windows_execution_amcache. 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.
windows_execution_amcache is provided by the Velociraptor MCP Server MCP server (snoe-findley/mcp-velociraptor). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
