kali-mcp
Enables AI assistants to perform penetration testing by running real Kali Linux security tools and returning structured, verified findings instead of raw terminal output.
Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

8/123 tools have annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
123/123 tools missing one or more hints — get_job_status (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_job_output (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); list_jobs (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +120 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
Destructive tools are labelled
7 tools perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — hunt_program deletes at line 66 (os.unlink(path)); msf_search deletes at line 44 (os.unlink(rc_file)); msf_run_module deletes at line 97 (os.unlink(rc_file))
Add destructiveHint:true to any tool whose handler calls .delete(), .upsert(), .update(), unlink, rm, DELETE, DROP, REPLACE INTO, or any operation that overwrites existing data.
Descriptions match behaviour
3 tools describe read intent but their handlers mutate — hunt_program (line 66: os.unlink(path)); msf_search (line 39: with open(rc_file, "w") as f:); screenshot_urls (line 93: os.unlink(url_file))
Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.
Tool description accuracy
3 tools have description/behavior mismatches: hunt_program: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes; msf_search: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes; screenshot_urls: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes
Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.
