Proxychains MCP Server

by schwarztim

proxychains_run

Executes any command through configured proxy chains on Kali Linux, routing network traffic for privacy and security testing.

Instructions

Run a command through the proxy chain on Kali Linux. The command will be routed through all configured proxies.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
commandYesThe command to run through proxychains (e.g., 'curl https://example.com', 'nmap -sT target')
timeoutNoTimeout in milliseconds (default: 60000)
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states that the command is routed through proxies, but omits security implications, permission requirements, error handling, or side effects of running arbitrary commands.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the action verb, no redundant information. Every sentence is necessary and clear.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema is provided, and the description fails to explain what the tool returns (e.g., stdout/stderr, exit codes). For a command execution tool, this omission leaves the agent uncertain about expected outputs.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, meeting the baseline but not exceeding it.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action 'Run' and the resource 'command through proxy chain'. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like proxychains_config, add, remove, etc., which manage configuration rather than execute commands.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as proxychains_test or proxychains_dns. The description does not provide context for selection or exclusion criteria.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
