Why theprotocol_testWebhook is rated High
This tool triggers an external HTTP request (a test event) to a webhook URL. It performs an outbound network action whose effect depends on the target endpoint — this is a classic Execute category: it runs/triggers an external operation. It does not delete data, move money, or merely read/write internal data. Misuse could probe or spam external endpoints, hence medium severity.

The rule that runs theprotocol_testWebhook safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and TheProtocol — Sovereign AI Agent Platform, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For theprotocol_testWebhook, this is the rule to start with:
theprotocol_testWebhook stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
