MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server tools

Destructive · High cancel_job_tool Cancelling a job is an irreversible action — once a quantum job submitted to IBM's infrastructure is cancelled, it cannot be restarted or recovered. Destructive · High delete_environment_tool The tool performs a delete operation, which is inherently destructive and cannot be undone. Destructive · High delete_model_tool The tool performs an irreversible delete operation on a model object. Destructive · High delete_saved_account_tool Deletion of account data is irreversible and prevents recovery.

37 of Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server's 71 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server

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

Deny destructive operations

{
  "cancel_job_tool": {
    "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

{
  "convert_qasm3_to_qpy_tool": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "convert_qasm3_to_qpy_tool_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "active_account_info_tool": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "active_account_info_tool_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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

FAQ

Questions about Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server

Can an AI agent delete data through the Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server MCP server? +

Yes. The Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server server exposes 4 destructive tools including cancel_job_tool, delete_environment_tool, delete_model_tool. 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 Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server? +

The Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server server has 5 write tools including convert_qasm3_to_qpy_tool, create_coupling_map_tool, export_circuit_to_qasm_tool. 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 Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server.

How many tools does the Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server MCP server expose? +

71 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 34 are read-only. 37 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server? +

Register the Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server 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 Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 71 Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
