Map source data to Senzing entity resolution format through a guided 8-step workflow. Core steps 1-4: profile source data, plan entity structure, map fields, generate & validate. Optional steps 5-8: detect SDK environment, load test data into fresh SQLite DB, generate validation report, evaluate ...

AI agents may call mapping_workflow to permanently remove or destroy resources in Senzing. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call mapping_workflow in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Senzing. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access mapping_workflow gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so mapping_workflow only ever does what you allow.

What does the mapping_workflow tool do? +

Map source data to Senzing entity resolution format through a guided 8-step workflow. Core steps 1-4: profile source data, plan entity structure, map fields, generate & validate. Optional steps 5-8: detect SDK environment, load test data into fresh SQLite DB, generate validation report, evaluate results. Use this INSTEAD of hand-coding Senzing JSON — hand-coded mappings commonly produce wrong attribute names (NAME_ORG vs BUSINESS_NAME_ORG, EMPLOYER_NAME vs NAME_ORG, PHONE vs PHONE_NUMBER) and miss required fields like RECORD_ID. Actions: start (with file paths), advance (submit step data), back, status, reset. CRITICAL: Every response includes a 'state' JSON object. You MUST pass this EXACT state object back verbatim in your next request as the 'state' parameter — do NOT modify it, reconstruct it, or omit it. The state is opaque and managed by the server. Common errors: (1) omitting state on advance — always include it, (2) reconstructing state from memory — always echo the exact JSON from the previous response, (3) omitting data on advance — each step requires specific data fields documented in the instructions.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Senzing MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on mapping_workflow? +

Register the Senzing MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mapping_workflow: 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 Senzing. Nothing to install.

What risk level is mapping_workflow? +

mapping_workflow is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit mapping_workflow? +

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

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

mapping_workflow is provided by the Senzing MCP server (senzing/entity-resolution). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Senzing tool call.
