find_principals_des_only_kerberos
AI agents call find_principals_des_only_kerberos to retrieve information from BloodHound MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads Active Directory data to identify security misconfigurations (DES-only Kerberos is a known weakness). It performs reconnaissance similar to sibling tools, with no indication of write, delete, or execution capabilities. While the security findings could be sensitive, the tool itself is a Read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_principals_des_only_kerberos' indicates querying for principals with DES-only Kerberos configuration; sibling tools are all discovery/enumeration functions (find_all_*, find_*) that retrieve Active Directory attack surface information without…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access find_principals_des_only_kerberos gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and BloodHound MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for find_principals_des_only_kerberos:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"find_principals_des_only_kerberos": {}
}
}find_principals_des_only_kerberos is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

find_principals_des_only_kerberos. It is categorised as a Read tool in the BloodHound MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the BloodHound MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_principals_des_only_kerberos: 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 BloodHound MCP. Nothing to install.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the find_principals_des_only_kerberos 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for find_principals_des_only_kerberos. 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.
find_principals_des_only_kerberos is provided by the BloodHound MCP server (mordavid/bloodhound-mcp-ai). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from BloodHound MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
