Get system info from remote Windows via WinRM. Supports password or pass-the-hash authentication.
AI agents call remote_get_system_info 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 queries and retrieves system information from a remote Windows host—a read-only operation with no side effects or data modification. However, severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because: (1) it requires WinRM access to remote systems, implying it could expose sensitive system configuration details if misused, and (2) the mention of pass-the-hash authentication suggests it could be leveraged…
From the tool's definition Tool name 'remote_get_system_info' and description explicitly states it retrieves system information from remote Windows machines via WinRM with no indication of modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary code.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access remote_get_system_info 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 remote_get_system_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"remote_get_system_info": {}
}
}remote_get_system_info 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.
Get system info from remote Windows via WinRM. Supports password or pass-the-hash authentication. 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 remote_get_system_info: 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.
remote_get_system_info 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 remote_get_system_info 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 remote_get_system_info. 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.
remote_get_system_info 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.
Free to start. No card required.
