How to control pixiewps_attack ↓

AI agents invoke pixiewps_attack 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.

High Risk

Pixiewps is a specific attack tool that cracks WPS PINs offline by exploiting weak random number generators in WPS implementations. Despite an empty description, the tool name unambiguously identifies it as an active attack execution tool. Given the server context (Kali Linux security tools, penetration testing), this tool executes wireless network attacks.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'pixiewps_attack' references pixiewps, a well-known offline WPA/WPA2 WPS PIN cracking tool used in penetration testing to exploit the Pixie Dust vulnerability against wireless routers.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access pixiewps_attack 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 pixiewps_attack:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "pixiewps_attack": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "pixiewps_attack_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

pixiewps_attack 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.

  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.

What does the pixiewps_attack tool do? +

pixiewps_attack. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Kali Security MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on pixiewps_attack? +

Register the Kali Security MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pixiewps_attack: 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 pixiewps_attack? +

pixiewps_attack is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit pixiewps_attack? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pixiewps_attack 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 pixiewps_attack completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pixiewps_attack. 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 pixiewps_attack? +

pixiewps_attack 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.
