5
+ Detects malicious content embedded in MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool responses.
6
+ Attackers may compromise or impersonate MCP servers to inject shell commands, encoded
7
+ payloads, reverse shells, data exfiltration scripts, or prompt injection payloads into
8
+ tool responses that the agent will process and potentially execute. Detection covers:
9
+ destructive shell commands, command execution via interpreters, reverse shells (bash,
10
+ netcat, socat, Python, Node, Ruby, Perl, PowerShell), curl/wget pipe-to-shell, command
11
+ substitution, base64 decode-and-execute, process substitution, IFS/variable expansion
12
+ evasion, privilege escalation, PowerShell-specific attack patterns, Python/Node reverse
13
+ shells, encoded command execution, and prompt injection within tool responses.
