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

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

## Why frida_spawn is rated High

'frida_spawn' almost certainly spawns (starts) a new process via the Frida instrumentation framework, which constitutes executing code or triggering external operations. The description is empty, lowering confidence slightly, but the tool name and server context strongly indicate process execution. Severity is high because spawning arbitrary processes on a device can have significant security implications.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'frida_spawn' on a Frida dynamic instrumentation server; Frida's spawn operation launches/starts a new process under instrumentation control."

## Use case

AI agents invoke frida_spawn to trigger actions in Ya Frida. 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 Ya Frida:

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