Praetor — authorized pentest/red-team MCP harness. Tool discovery, skill loading, and the HARD safety rules that always apply.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Praetor — operating guide (Cursor)
Praetor is an authorized pentest / red-team harness driven by the **Praetor MCP
tools** (register the server per `README.md` → *Install into your agent*). Full
Claude-Code manual: `CLAUDE.md`. Agent roster: `AGENTS.md`.
## Find capabilities and playbooks
- **Tools:** `list_tier1_tools()` / `pick_tool(task)`. Web lane routes through Burp
(`127.0.0.1:8111`); network lane bypasses Burp.
- **Skills (how-to playbooks):** `list_skills()` then `get_skill("<name>")`
(verify-finding, chain-findings, lab-solve, …); or the `burp://skills/index` +
`burp://skills/<name>` resources; or read `.claude/skills/*.md`.
- **Rules:** `.claude/rules/hunting.md` + `.claude/rules/engineering.md` are
authoritative (also `burp://rules/*`).
## HARD rules — always in force (never override)
1. **Scope** — `check_scope(url)` before any new domain; never out-of-scope, never
follow an out-of-scope redirect.
2. **No destructive payloads** — no `DROP TABLE`/`DELETE FROM`/`rm -rf`/`shutdown`.
Prove impact benignly: `SELECT version()` (SQLi), a read marker (RCE), an IDOR
**read** not write. Blind tests use `SLEEP`/math/Collaborator.

How to install
mdr add tyrusrc/praetor/.cursor/rules/praetor.mdc@sha256:8a8ccb30ad17d1afThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.7b047d0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
