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

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

## Why mimikatz is rated High

Mimikatz is a post-exploitation framework that executes code to extract plaintext passwords, hashes, and Kerberos tokens from process memory. This is an Execute-class action (runs external tool with argument-dependent effects), but severity is critical because: (1) it directly enables credential theft on any compromised system, (2) extracted credentials can be weaponized for lateral movement and privilege…

From the tool's own definition: "Tool named 'mimikatz' that 'Run[s] Mimikatz command' - Mimikatz is a well-known credential dumping and privilege escalation tool that executes arbitrary memory manipulation commands on Windows systems."

## Use case

AI agents invoke mimikatz to trigger actions in Claude C2. 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 Claude C2:

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