Why manage_group needs a policy

With an empty description, the exact behavior of 'manage_group' is unknown. Based on the name alone, it likely involves creating, updating, or deleting groups (possibly user/permission groups within Kestra). 'Manage' implies write or administrative operations, but without evidence, confidence is low. Defaulting to Write category behavior is plausible, but cannot confirm severity or category with certainty.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'manage_group' but description is empty or uninformative. No description provided to clarify what this tool does.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access manage_group gives an agent:

How to control manage_group

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Kestra Python MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for manage_group:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "manage_group": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "manage_group_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

manage_group gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Kestra Python MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
