How to control list_non_managed_service_accounts ↓

AI agents call list_non_managed_service_accounts to retrieve information from BloodHound MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool queries Active Directory to enumerate non-managed service accounts, which is a read operation with no side effects on the directory itself. However, severity is medium rather than low because the information retrieved (service account identities and their non-managed status) can be valuable reconnaissance for an attacker planning lateral movement or privilege escalation attacks, particularly when combined…

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_non_managed_service_accounts' indicates a query/list operation that retrieves information about service accounts in Active Directory. The verb 'list' is characteristic of read-only operations.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_non_managed_service_accounts gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and BloodHound MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_non_managed_service_accounts:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_non_managed_service_accounts": {}
  }
}

list_non_managed_service_accounts is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register BloodHound MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
