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

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

## Why create_scan_summary is rated Low

The name suggests aggregating or summarizing existing scan results, which is a read/reporting operation. However, the description is empty, lowering confidence. Given the offensive security context of the server (pentesting, vulnerability discovery), there is some possibility it triggers or consolidates active scan data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'create_scan_summary' — description is empty and uninformative."

## Use case

AI agents call create_scan_summary to retrieve information from Hexstrike Ai without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Hexstrike Ai:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_scan_summary": {}
  }
}
```
