## Facts

- Tool: `secure_run_command_sequence`
- Server: Code MCP Server (`agentics-ai/code-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/agentics-ai-code-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/agentics-ai/code-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": "secure_run_command_sequence",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why secure_run_command_sequence is rated High

This tool runs arbitrary command sequences, which is the defining characteristic of Execute category. Multiple sequential commands amplify risk of unintended side effects. While security restrictions may limit scope, the fundamental capability is triggering external operations whose effects depend on supplied arguments.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Execute multiple commands in sequence' - directly indicates code/command execution capability. The qualifier 'with security restrictions' suggests measures exist but does not prevent execution."

## Use case

AI agents invoke secure_run_command_sequence to trigger actions in Code MCP Server. 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 Code MCP Server:

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