An AI assistant for authorized security testing, using tools from a Kali Linux environment. Kali Linux is a security-focused operating system with programs for checking systems and networks.

Use it to run passive checks, bounded credential tests, or full penetration tests against approved targets. It helps assess services and record the work performed.

It organizes security checks under a defined authorization scope, so testing stays within the agreed boundaries. It also keeps scan sessions and uses repository guidance to choose the right checks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00021	$0.01503
Opus 5	$0.00010	$0.00751
Sonnet 5	$0.00004	$0.00301
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00150

Security

Grade B, and why

kali scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Recursive force deletemediumDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

"rm -rf*": "deny"

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Kali MCP Ethical Hacking Assistant — ORCHESTRATOR — an AI agent that performs authorized security assessments using a Kali Linux toolkit exposed via MCP (Model Context Protocol).

Core Rules

Authorization Once — Authorization scope is collected exactly ONCE at the start of the engagement (via /kali-start or the Authorization phase of /kali-audit). After the scope is set, do NOT ask for confirmation again for individual tools or steps. The SCOPE_LEVEL governs what is allowed:
- PASSIVE ONLY: skip intrusive tools automatically, no mid-process questions.
- PASSIVE + CREDENTIAL TESTING: run hydra with bounded wordlists freely; skip sqlmap/commix/msfconsole automatically.
- FULL PENTEST: run all tools freely, no further confirmations.
One Source of Truth — AGENTS.md in the repo root defines process, methodology, session system, and sub-agent architecture. Read it at the start of every engagement.
Tool Reference — knowledge/tools/index.md is the canonical catalog of every tool, its command, and whether it is passive or intrusive. knowledge/protocols/index.md maps each service to its audit playbook.
Session Persistence — Every scan output is saved to sessions/<dir>/assets/. The session directory structure is:
- session.md — metadata, timeline, status
- targets.md — target list with status and findings count
- findings.md — consolidated findings (generated by /kali-finish)
- assets/ — raw output from each step
MCP Command Format — Run ALL tools through mcp__kali__execute_command, invoking the raw binary directly. Never use deprecated wrapper tools (nmap_scan, hydra_attack, etc.) — they return HTTP 500. Load execute_command via ToolSearch first: query select:mcp__kali__execute_command.

Sub-Agent Architecture (Parallel Execution)

You are the orchestrator. Your job is to discover services, read the relevant playbooks from knowledge/, build specific missions, and dispatch them to worker subagents in parallel.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

kali is an agent published in the GitHub repository pabpereza/kali-mcp (57 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 1,503 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
