AI agents call get_attack_chains 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 performs a read-only query operation to retrieve attack chain information. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify data, and does not delete or move resources. The 'get' prefix and 'query' verb in the description confirm it is a data retrieval function.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_attack_chains' and description '查询攻击链列表' (query attack chain list) indicate a retrieval operation that queries and returns data about attack chains without modifying or executing anything.

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 get_attack_chains:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_attack_chains": {}
}
}get_attack_chains is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
