Start a Ligolo-ng proxy server for pivoting.
AI agents invoke pivot_ligolo_start 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.
This tool executes network tunneling infrastructure that fundamentally alters network access patterns and enables lateral movement attacks. While not destructive in the deletion sense, it establishes persistent network connections and pivoting capability whose effects (network access granted to restricted segments) depend entirely on agent intent and cannot be easily revoked.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pivot_ligolo_start' and description 'Start a Ligolo-ng proxy server for pivoting' indicate execution of a network pivoting tool. Ligolo-ng is a tunneling/pivoting utility that establishes network proxies to access otherwise unreachable systems.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access pivot_ligolo_start 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 pivot_ligolo_start:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"pivot_ligolo_start": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "pivot_ligolo_start_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}pivot_ligolo_start 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.
Free to start. No card required.
Start a Ligolo-ng proxy server for pivoting. 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.
Register the Zebbern Kali MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pivot_ligolo_start: 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.
pivot_ligolo_start is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pivot_ligolo_start 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pivot_ligolo_start. 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.
pivot_ligolo_start 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.
