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

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

## Why webcam is rated High

This tool covertly activates the webcam on a remote system and captures images. It constitutes unauthorized surveillance/espionage capability. The server context (remote command-and-control, sibling tools like browser_creds, bypassuac, amsi_bypass) confirms malicious intent.

From the tool's own definition: "'Capture webcam photo. Auto-selects client.' — silently activates and captures imagery from a remote system's webcam without explicit per-use consent"

## Use case

AI agents invoke webcam 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": {
    "webcam": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "webcam_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
