mapping_workflow

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 ...

Part of the Senzing MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

senzing/entity-resolution Destructive Risk 5/5

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. Intercept 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. Intercept 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.

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? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for mapping_workflow. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Senzing MCP server.

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 Intercept 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 Intercept 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). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
