Parse SRUDB.dat for application resource usage including CPU time, network bytes sent/received, and foreground time. Answers: How long did this program run? What was its network activity?
AI agents call disk_parse_srum to retrieve information from Windows Forensics MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads and parses a forensic artifact (SRUDB.dat - System Resource Usage Monitor database) to extract historical usage data. It only retrieves/queries data with no side effects, making it a Read operation. Severity is medium because it exposes potentially sensitive information about application usage patterns and network activity on a Windows system.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access disk_parse_srum gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Windows Forensics MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for disk_parse_srum:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"disk_parse_srum": {}
}
}disk_parse_srum is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Parse SRUDB.dat for application resource usage including CPU time, network bytes sent/received, and foreground time. Answers: How long did this program run? What was its network activity?. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Windows Forensics MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Windows Forensics MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for disk_parse_srum: 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 Windows Forensics MCP Server. Nothing to install.
disk_parse_srum 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 disk_parse_srum 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 disk_parse_srum. 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.
disk_parse_srum is provided by the Windows Forensics MCP Server MCP server (x746b/winforensics-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Windows Forensics MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
