WHAT IT DOES

What sqlmap_scan does on Kali Security MCP

AI agents invoke sqlmap_scan 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 sqlmap_scan is rated High

SQLmap is an automated SQL injection tool that actively probes and exploits database vulnerabilities. It executes attacks against target systems (including data extraction, authentication bypass, and potentially OS command execution via SQL injection). On a penetration testing server, misuse could lead to unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, or full system compromise.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

sqlmap_scan Rate-limited

sqlmap_scan 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.

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