How to control export_circuit_to_qasm_tool ↓

AI agents use export_circuit_to_qasm_tool to create or update resources in Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server environment.

Medium Risk

An AI agent can call export_circuit_to_qasm_tool faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

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

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "export_circuit_to_qasm_tool": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "export_circuit_to_qasm_tool_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

export_circuit_to_qasm_tool stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Qiskit IBM Transpiler 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.

What does the export_circuit_to_qasm_tool tool do? +

export_circuit_to_qasm_tool. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on export_circuit_to_qasm_tool? +

Register the Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_circuit_to_qasm_tool: 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 Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is export_circuit_to_qasm_tool? +

export_circuit_to_qasm_tool is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit export_circuit_to_qasm_tool? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the export_circuit_to_qasm_tool 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 export_circuit_to_qasm_tool completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for export_circuit_to_qasm_tool. 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 export_circuit_to_qasm_tool? +

export_circuit_to_qasm_tool is provided by the Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server MCP server (qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server tool call.
