Get detailed information about a specific Velociraptor artifact including its description, parameters, and source code. This tool helps you understand what an artifact does and what parameters it requires before collection.
AI agents call CollectArtifactDetailsTool 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 performs a read-only retrieval of artifact specifications and metadata. It does not collect forensic data (that is handled by CollectArtifactTool), does not modify any artifacts or configurations, and does not execute queries or code. The purpose is explicitly to help users 'understand what an artifact does' before collection, making it a safe reconnaissance function with minimal security blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves 'detailed information about a specific Velociraptor artifact including its description, parameters, and source code' with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. The action is purely informational query of artifact metadata.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access CollectArtifactDetailsTool gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Velociraptor MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for CollectArtifactDetailsTool:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"CollectArtifactDetailsTool": {}
}
}CollectArtifactDetailsTool is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get detailed information about a specific Velociraptor artifact including its description, parameters, and source code. This tool helps you understand what an artifact does and what parameters it requires before collection. 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 CollectArtifactDetailsTool: 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.
CollectArtifactDetailsTool 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 CollectArtifactDetailsTool 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 CollectArtifactDetailsTool. 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.
CollectArtifactDetailsTool is provided by the Velociraptor MCP Server MCP server (socfortress/velociraptor-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
