WHAT IT DOES

What run_surface_chain does on Kali Security MCP

AI agents invoke run_surface_chain 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 run_surface_chain is rated High

Tool executes automated security workflows on Kali server; high blast radius without clear constraints on what surfaces or chains are targeted.

From the tool's definition uninformative description; 'run_surface_chain' suggests automated execution workflow on security testing server

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

run_surface_chain Rate-limited

run_surface_chain 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.

How do I enforce a policy on run_surface_chain? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit run_surface_chain? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for run_surface_chain. 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.
