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

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

## Why run_coercer is rated High

Coercer is a penetration testing tool that performs credential relay and coercion attacks by interacting with network services and Windows protocols (NTLM relay, SpoolSvc abuse, etc.). This triggers external operations with effects dependent on target arguments (which service, which credentials to coerce), making it Execute category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool named 'run_coercer' from a penetration testing MCP server that enables autonomous execution of 'open-source penetration testing tools' including 'web exploitation' via Docker sandboxing. Coercer is a known credential coercion/relay attack tool."

## Use case

AI agents invoke run_coercer to trigger actions in Pentester-MCP. 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 Pentester-MCP:

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