List network share(s), ignoring SYSVOL
AI agents call list_network_shares_ignoring_sysvol to retrieve information from BloodHound MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about network shares from an Active Directory environment. It is fundamentally a Read operation (query, list, fetch). However, the severity is elevated to medium rather than low because: (1) the BloodHound context suggests this is part of a security reconnaissance toolkit that identifies attack paths and privilege escalation routes; (2) network share enumeration is often a precursor…
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List network share(s)' — this is a query/retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_network_shares_ignoring_sysvol gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and BloodHound MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_network_shares_ignoring_sysvol:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_network_shares_ignoring_sysvol": {}
}
}list_network_shares_ignoring_sysvol is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
List network share(s), ignoring SYSVOL. It is categorised as a Read tool in the BloodHound MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the BloodHound MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_network_shares_ignoring_sysvol: 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 BloodHound MCP. Nothing to install.
list_network_shares_ignoring_sysvol 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 list_network_shares_ignoring_sysvol 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 list_network_shares_ignoring_sysvol. 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.
list_network_shares_ignoring_sysvol is provided by the BloodHound MCP server (stevenyu113228/bloodhound-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
