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

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

## Why stop_spiderfoot_web is rated High

Stopping a running process is an Execute action (triggers external operations), but the blast radius is low because: (1) it only affects a web server process that is presumably part of the pentesting workflow, (2) there is no data loss or financial impact, and (3) the operation is reversible by restarting the process.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Terminates a background SpiderFoot web server process' - this is process termination, which is an external operation that affects system state."

## Use case

AI agents invoke stop_spiderfoot_web 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": {
    "stop_spiderfoot_web": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "stop_spiderfoot_web_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
