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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why renef_server_deploy is rated High

This tool performs deployment of executables and native libraries to an Android device, which is a form of code execution. It has high blast radius because it installs instrumentation and hooking capabilities (libagent.so) that can fundamentally alter the runtime behavior of the target device.

From the tool's own definition: "Deploys renef_server and libagent.so to the connected Android device. Deployment of native libraries (libagent.so) and server components constitutes execution of code on a target system with side effects that depend on the deployed binaries' behavior."

## Use case

AI agents invoke renef_server_deploy to trigger actions in Renef. 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 Renef:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "renef_server_deploy": {
      "limits": [
