Perform AS-REP Roasting to get hashes for accounts with pre-auth disabled.

How to control ad_asreproast ↓

AI agents invoke ad_asreproast to trigger actions in Zebbern Kali 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.

High Risk

AS-REP Roasting is an active credential harvesting attack against Active Directory Kerberos infrastructure. It queries the KDC for AS-REP responses for accounts that don't require pre-authentication, returning crackable password hashes. This is an offensive security operation that triggers external network operations against authentication systems.

From the tool's definition Perform AS-REP Roasting to get hashes for accounts with pre-auth disabled

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

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ad_asreproast": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "ad_asreproast_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

ad_asreproast 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Zebbern Kali 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.

What does the ad_asreproast tool do? +

Perform AS-REP Roasting to get hashes for accounts with pre-auth disabled. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Zebbern Kali MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on ad_asreproast? +

Register the Zebbern Kali MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ad_asreproast: 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 Zebbern Kali MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is ad_asreproast? +

ad_asreproast is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit ad_asreproast? +

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

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

ad_asreproast is provided by the Zebbern Kali MCP server (zebbern/zebbern-kali-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Zebbern Kali MCP tool call.
