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

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

## Why run_gospider is rated High

The tool executes a web reconnaissance/crawling tool autonomously. While reconnaissance itself is typically non-destructive, the Execute category applies because: (1) it triggers an external operation (gospider) whose behavior depends on arguments, (2) the server explicitly bundles this with broader penetration testing capabilities, and (3) even reconnaissance tools can have side effects (network scanning, service…

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'run_gospider'. Gospider is a reconnaissance and web crawling tool commonly used in penetration testing."

## Use case

AI agents invoke run_gospider 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_gospider": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "run_gospider_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
