Retrieve detailed information about a Velociraptor client by hostname or FQDN. This tool searches for a client using the provided hostname and returns comprehensive client details including ID, OS information, agent version, and connection status.
AI agents call GetAgentInfo 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.
GetAgentInfo performs a lookup/query operation to fetch metadata about an agent (hostname, OS, version, status). This is a pure Read operation—it retrieves information without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or moving money. The blast radius is low: misuse would only expose information already accessible within the Velociraptor instance, not cause destructive or operational harm.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Retrieve[s] detailed information about a Velociraptor client' and 'returns comprehensive client details.' The verb 'retrieve' and the read-only nature of querying client metadata with no modification capability are the key…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access GetAgentInfo 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 GetAgentInfo:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"GetAgentInfo": {}
}
}GetAgentInfo is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Retrieve detailed information about a Velociraptor client by hostname or FQDN. This tool searches for a client using the provided hostname and returns comprehensive client details including ID, OS information, agent version, and connection status. 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 GetAgentInfo: 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.
GetAgentInfo 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 GetAgentInfo 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 GetAgentInfo. 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.
GetAgentInfo 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.
