Spawn a process suspended for early hooking.

## Facts

- Tool: `spawn`
- Server: Frida Game Hacking MCP (`0xhackerfren/frida-game-hacking-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhackerfren-frida-game-hacking-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/0xhackerfren/frida-game-hacking-mcp
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "spawn",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why spawn is rated High

Spawning a process is an Execute-category action with high severity. It launches an arbitrary process on the host system, and the suspended state is explicitly designed to facilitate hooking and code injection before execution begins. Misuse could allow an AI agent to launch malicious processes or compromise running software.

From the tool's own definition: "'Spawn a process suspended for early hooking' — launches a new process in a suspended state to enable early code injection and function hooking"

## Use case

AI agents invoke spawn to trigger actions in Frida Game Hacking 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Frida Game Hacking MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "spawn": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "spawn_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
