Why dedup_load needs a policy

This tool retrieves and ingests a local file for analysis or processing. It performs a read operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The severity is low because file loading from a user-controlled path has minimal blast radius — it can only expose data the user already has access to. High confidence because the description is explicit about the read-only nature of the operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description: 'Load a `deduped_requests.txt` file produced by the user's Burp' — the verb 'load' indicates reading/retrieving a file that already exists, with no modification or deletion.

How to control dedup_load

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Burp Mcp Plus, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for dedup_load:

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

dedup_load 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 Burp Mcp Plus — 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.
