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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why ropgadget_search is rated High

ROPgadget is a well-known tool for finding Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) gadgets in binaries, used to construct exploit chains for bypassing security mitigations. While the description is empty (lowering confidence), the tool name strongly implies execution of binary analysis to support exploit development.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'ropgadget_search' on a server explicitly described as running 150+ cybersecurity offensive security tools for pentesting and exploitation"

## Use case

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