The most dangerous Xiaozhi tools

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

How to control Xiaozhi

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

Deny destructive operations
{
  "clear_playlist": {
    "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
{
  "add_to_playlist": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "add_to_playlist_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
{
  "get_playlist": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_playlist_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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

  1. Create a free account and register Xiaozhi — nothing to install.
  2. Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about Xiaozhi

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

Yes. The Xiaozhi server exposes 1 destructive tools including clear_playlist. 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 Xiaozhi? +

The Xiaozhi server has 1 write tools including add_to_playlist. 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 Xiaozhi.

How many tools does the Xiaozhi MCP server expose? +

9 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 3 are read-only. 6 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Xiaozhi? +

Register the Xiaozhi 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 Xiaozhi tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 9 Xiaozhi tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
