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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "wireless_security",
    "arguments": {
      "action": "<action>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why wireless_security is rated High

This tool performs active network assessments (Bluetooth audit, WiFi assessment, rogue AP detection) which involve scanning and probing external systems, and can disable network interfaces — a system-modifying action that could disrupt connectivity. The 'disable unused interfaces' action is a write/execute operation with potentially significant impact.

From the tool's own definition: "Bluetooth audit, WiFi assessment, rogue AP detection, disable unused interfaces"

## Use case

AI agents invoke wireless_security to trigger actions in Defense. 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 Defense:

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