praetor rulesA
praetor is agent-read markdown (rules) from tyrusrc/praetor: Praetor — authorized pentest/red-team MCP harness. Tool discovery, skill loading, and the HARD safety rules that always apply..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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@git:20260921.7b047d0mdr add tyrusrc/praetor/.cursor/rules/praetor.mdc@sha256:8a8ccb30ad17d1afPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
