# tools_gobuster A execute tool on the Zebbern Kali MCP MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `tools_gobuster`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/zebbern-zebbern-kali-mcp/tools-gobuster ## Facts - Tool: `tools_gobuster` - Server: Zebbern Kali MCP (`zebbern/zebbern-kali-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/zebbern-zebbern-kali-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/zebbern/zebbern-kali-mcp - Risk category: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "tools_gobuster", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why tools_gobuster is rated High Gobuster is a standard Kali Linux tool that performs active brute-force enumeration of web directories, DNS subdomains, and virtual hosts against target systems. Even though the description is empty, the tool name combined with the server context (Kali Linux pentest toolkit, sibling tools include AD enumeration, password spraying, credential dumping) strongly indicates this executes active scanning/brute-forcing… From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'tools_gobuster' on a Kali Linux penetration testing MCP server; gobuster is a well-known directory/DNS/vhost brute-forcing tool used in penetration testing" ## Use case AI agents invoke tools_gobuster to trigger actions in Zebbern Kali MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
