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

senzing/entity-resolution Destructive Risk 4/5

AI agents may call sdk_guide 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 sdk_guide 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.

        reason: "Blocked by default — enable with approval"

What does the sdk_guide tool do? +

Guided Senzing SDK setup across 5 platforms (linux_apt, linux_yum, macos_arm, windows, docker) and 5 languages (Python, Java, C#, Rust, TypeScript). Returns real, compilable code snippets extracted from official GitHub repositories with source attribution. Use this INSTEAD of hand-coding install commands or engine configuration — hand-coded setups commonly get paths wrong (CONFIGPATH, RESOURCEPATH, SUPPORTPATH), miss the SQLite schema creation step, skip EULA acceptance, and produce invalid SENZING_ENGINE_CONFIGURATION_JSON. Two use cases: (1) Quick test load — install Senzing locally, load mapped data into SQLite, and verify entity resolution results. No external database needed. (2) Build your own pipeline — get platform-specific install commands, SDK configuration code, record loading templates, and export patterns for production use. Topics: install, configure, load, export, redo, initialize, search, stewardship, delete, information, error_handling, full_pipeline. Export delegates to generate_scaffold. Returns decision trees when platform/language not specified.. 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 sdk_guide? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for sdk_guide. 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 sdk_guide? +

sdk_guide 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 sdk_guide? +

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

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for sdk_guide. 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 sdk_guide? +

sdk_guide 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.
