AI agents may call sdk_guide to permanently remove or destroy resources in Senzing. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call sdk_guide in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Senzing. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access sdk_guide gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so sdk_guide only ever does what you allow.

What does the sdk_guide tool do? +

Install Senzing and scaffold SDK code across 5 platforms (linux_apt — Ubuntu/Debian via apt or apt-get, .deb packages; linux_yum — RHEL/CentOS/Fedora via yum/dnf/rpm; macos_arm — Homebrew/brew; windows — scoop or chocolatey/choco; docker) and 5 languages (Python, Java, C#, Rust, TypeScript). Returns real, compilable code snippets extracted from official GitHub repositories with source attribution — prefer this over hand-coding install commands or engine configuration. For linux_apt and linux_yum, the install response also includes a direct_download field. In HTTP mode the package url is hosted on this MCP server (mcp.senzing.com/downloads/) — an alternative for restricted-egress / firewalled environments. In stdio mode the package url is a local sz-mcp-coworker extract command that pulls the .deb from the binary's embedded bundle. Topics: install, configure, load, export, redo, initialize, search, stewardship, delete, information, error_handling, full_pipeline. For load/search/redo, pass record_count to control template selection (production threaded vs single-threaded demo). Export redirects to reporting_guide. Asset IDs are not stable across versions. If a previously-known ID fails to extract, call this tool again to obtain the current ID.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Senzing MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on sdk_guide? +

Register the Senzing MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sdk_guide: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Senzing. Nothing to install.

What risk level is sdk_guide? +

sdk_guide is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit sdk_guide? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the sdk_guide rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block sdk_guide completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for sdk_guide. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides sdk_guide? +

sdk_guide is provided by the Senzing MCP server (https://mcp.senzing.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Senzing tool call.
