MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous KafkaIQ tools

Destructive · High clear_temporal_memory This tool permanently deletes temporal memory records, which cannot be undone. Destructive · High delete_kafka_topic Deleting a Kafka topic removes all associated data streams and configurations permanently. Execute · High initialize_kafka_connection Initializing a Kafka connection is an Execute action—it triggers external operations (establishing network connections to Kafka brokers) whose effects depend on arguments (cluster address, credentials, etc.). Write · Medium create_kafka_topic Creating a Kafka topic adds a new resource to the cluster configuration, which is reversible through deletion.

7 of KafkaIQ's 24 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control KafkaIQ

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

Deny destructive operations

{
  "clear_temporal_memory": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "create_kafka_topic": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "create_kafka_topic_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "broker_leadership_distribution": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "broker_leadership_distribution_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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

Create a free account and register KafkaIQ — nothing to install.
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.

FAQ

Questions about KafkaIQ

Can an AI agent delete data through the KafkaIQ MCP server? +

Yes. The KafkaIQ server exposes 2 destructive tools including clear_temporal_memory, delete_kafka_topic. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through KafkaIQ? +

The KafkaIQ server has 4 write tools including create_kafka_topic, export_temporal_state, import_temporal_state. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach KafkaIQ.

How many tools does the KafkaIQ MCP server expose? +

24 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 17 are read-only. 7 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on KafkaIQ? +

Register the KafkaIQ MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every KafkaIQ tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 24 KafkaIQ tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
