AI agents use multi_target_add_target to create or update resources in Kali Security MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Kali Security MCP environment.
The tool adds (creates) a new target to a multi-target coordination system used for penetration testing. This is a Write operation because it creates/modifies data (target list) in the system reversibly. Severity is high because malicious or incorrect target additions could cause unauthorized security testing against unintended systems, potentially violating legal boundaries or causing operational disruption.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'add_target' and description states '添加新目标到多目标协调系统' (Add new target to multi-target coordination system). This creates a new entry in a penetration testing coordination system.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access multi_target_add_target 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 multi_target_add_target:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"multi_target_add_target": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "multi_target_add_target_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}multi_target_add_target stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

添加新目标到多目标协调系统. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Kali Security MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Kali Security MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for multi_target_add_target: 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.
multi_target_add_target is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the multi_target_add_target 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 multi_target_add_target. 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.
multi_target_add_target 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.
