AI agents call correlate_scan_results to retrieve information from Kali Security MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool takes scan results as input and performs analytical operations to identify patterns and relationships. It is fundamentally a read-only operation that retrieves and processes data without making changes to systems or data. While the output could inform attacks, the tool itself only reads and analyzes; it does not execute commands, modify systems, delete data, or move money.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'correlates and analyzes results from multiple scanning tools, identifies vulnerability patterns and attack paths' (translated from Chinese).
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access correlate_scan_results gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Kali Security MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for correlate_scan_results:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"correlate_scan_results": {}
}
}correlate_scan_results is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the Kali Security MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for correlate_scan_results: 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 Kali Security MCP. Nothing to install.
correlate_scan_results is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the correlate_scan_results 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 correlate_scan_results. 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.
correlate_scan_results is provided by the Kali Security MCP server (seac-25/kali-security-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
