MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Proxychains MCP Server tools

Destructive · High proxychains_remove Removing a proxy from the chain is an irreversible deletion of a configuration entry. Execute · High proxychains_run This tool executes arbitrary commands on a remote Linux host (Kali Linux) via a proxy chain. Execute · Medium proxychains_test This tool executes network connectivity tests through proxy chains on a remote system, which constitutes running external operations whose effects depend on arguments (e.g., target host). Write · Medium proxychains_add The proxychains_add tool creates or modifies proxy chain configuration by adding new proxies.

9 of Proxychains MCP Server's 10 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Proxychains MCP Server

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

Deny destructive operations

{
  "proxychains_remove": {
    "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

{
  "proxychains_add": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "proxychains_add_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "proxychains_list": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "proxychains_list_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 Proxychains MCP Server — 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 Proxychains MCP Server

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

Yes. The Proxychains MCP Server server exposes 1 destructive tools including proxychains_remove. 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 Proxychains MCP Server? +

The Proxychains MCP Server server has 6 write tools including proxychains_add, proxychains_config, proxychains_dns. 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 Proxychains MCP Server.

How many tools does the Proxychains MCP Server MCP server expose? +

10 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 1 are read-only. 9 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Proxychains MCP Server? +

Register the Proxychains 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 Proxychains MCP Server tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 10 Proxychains MCP Server tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
