How to control ad_bloodhound_collect ↓

AI agents invoke ad_bloodhound_collect 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

BloodHound collection involves actively running enumeration agents against Active Directory infrastructure to map attack paths, trust relationships, group memberships, and privilege escalation vectors. Even though it is primarily a Read/reconnaissance operation, it executes active probing against live AD infrastructure, which constitutes an Execute-category action.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ad_bloodhound_collect' on a Kali Linux penetration testing MCP server alongside tools like ad_secretsdump, ad_kerberoast, and ad_password_spray.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ad_bloodhound_collect 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_bloodhound_collect:

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

ad_bloodhound_collect 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.
