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

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

## Why execute_python_script is rated High

This tool allows execution of arbitrary Python code, which is the highest-risk capability. An AI agent given this tool could run malicious payloads, exfiltrate data, attack infrastructure, or cause severe harm depending on runtime environment permissions. Even with benign intent, execution tools are critical-severity due to their unrestricted blast radius.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'execute_python_script' directly indicates arbitrary code execution capability. Server context confirms this is an offensive security MCP with 150+ cybersecurity tools for 'automated pentesting' and 'vulnerability discovery.' No description…"

## Use case

AI agents invoke execute_python_script to trigger actions in Hexstrike Ai. 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 Hexstrike Ai:

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