What graph_query does on Kali Security MCP
AI agents call graph_query to retrieve information from Kali Security MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why graph_query is rated Low
Tool retrieves data from graph structure without modifying or executing operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs graph_query safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Kali Security MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For graph_query, this is the rule to start with:
graph_query is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Kali Security MCP, apply this rule, and every graph_query call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about graph_query
Query graph nodes. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kali Security MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Kali Security MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for graph_query: 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.
graph_query 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 graph_query 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 graph_query. 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.
graph_query 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.
