MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous xAI MCP Server tools

Execute · High chat Chatting with an AI model (xAI/Grok) triggers an external API call and can produce generated content, trigger follow-up actions, or be used to invoke other capabilities. Execute · High generate_video This tool triggers an external video generation operation on xAI's infrastructure based on a text prompt. Write · Medium generate_image This tool creates new image artifacts based on text input.

3 of xAI MCP Server's 5 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control xAI MCP Server

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and xAI MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "generate_image": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "generate_image_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "analyze_image": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "analyze_image_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
