WHAT IT DOES

What http_send does on Kali Security MCP

AI agents invoke http_send to trigger actions in Kali Security MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why http_send is rated High

The name 'http_send' strongly implies sending HTTP requests to external targets. On a penetration testing platform with tools for command injection, SQL injection, and web/network penetration, this tool likely sends crafted HTTP requests as part of attack workflows. This constitutes an Execute-level action as it triggers external operations against target systems.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'http_send' on a Kali Linux penetration testing server with sibling tools like 'adaptive_cmdi_test', 'adaptive_sqli_test', 'adaptive_web_penetration'

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs http_send 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 http_send, this is the rule to start with:

http_send Rate-limited

http_send stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

          "max": 10,

    }

}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Kali Security MCP, apply this rule, and every http_send call is checked against it from then on.
