Get all mitigations in the MITRE ATT&CK framework

How to control get_all_mitigations ↓

AI agents call get_all_mitigations to retrieve information from MITRE ATT&CK MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool performs a read-only query operation to retrieve mitigation information from a static knowledge base. It has no side effects, does not execute commands, does not modify data, and does not involve financial transactions. The verb 'get' and the pattern of retrieving all mitigations from a reference database clearly categorizes this as a Read operation with low severity risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_all_mitigations' and description 'Get all mitigations in the MITRE ATT&CK framework' indicate a retrieval operation that queries and returns data from the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base with no modification, creation, or deletion of data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_all_mitigations gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MITRE ATT&CK MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_all_mitigations:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_all_mitigations": {}
  }
}

get_all_mitigations is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register MITRE ATT&CK MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
