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

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

## Why sqlmap_run is rated High

sqlmap is a penetration testing tool that executes SQL injection attacks against databases. This triggers external operations (database queries) whose effects depend entirely on arguments (target URL, injection point, payload strategy). The tool has no built-in guard rails and runs in 'batch mode' (--batch), indicating automated, non-interactive exploitation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool is named 'sqlmap_run' and described as 'Automated SQL injection suite.' The context indicates it runs industry-standard offensive security tools in a containerized Kali Linux environment."

## Use case

AI agents invoke sqlmap_run to trigger actions in Hercules 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 Hercules MCP:

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