How to control get_cached_results ↓

AI agents call get_cached_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.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves cached scan results from prior penetration testing or vulnerability assessment activities. It performs a read-only query of existing data with no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive operations. The retrieval of cached results poses minimal risk as it accesses already-generated findings without triggering new scans or actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cached_results' and description '获取目标的缓存扫描结果' (retrieve/get target's cached scan results) indicate retrieval of previously stored data without modification or execution.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_cached_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 get_cached_results:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_cached_results": {}
  }
}

get_cached_results is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Kali Security MCP — 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.

How do I enforce a policy on get_cached_results? +

Register the Kali Security MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_cached_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.

What risk level is get_cached_results? +

get_cached_results is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_cached_results? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_cached_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.

How do I block get_cached_results completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_cached_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.

What MCP server provides get_cached_results? +

get_cached_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.

Enforce policy on every Kali Security MCP tool call.
