- Homepage: https://github.com/54yyyu/kaggle-mcp

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "config_set",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why config_set is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies configuration settings rather than deleting them. Configuration changes are reversible through subsequent calls to config_set or config_unset. However, severity is elevated to medium because misconfigured API credentials or settings could degrade service functionality, cause authentication failures, or impact subsequent API calls.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Set[s] a Kaggle API configuration value', which is a modification operation. The sibling tool 'config_unset' indicates reversible configuration management (not deletion)."

## Use case

AI agents use config_set to create or update resources in Kaggle-MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Kaggle-MCP environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Kaggle-MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "config_set": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "config_set_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
