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

```json

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why dalfox_xss_scan is rated High

Dalfox is an active XSS scanning tool that executes probes and payloads against target URLs. This constitutes external operation execution with potentially significant impact if misused against unauthorized targets. The server context (security recon console with sibling tools like ai_test_payload, advanced_payload_generation) reinforces that this is an active execution tool.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'dalfox_xss_scan' references Dalfox, a well-known open-source XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) vulnerability scanner that actively probes and tests targets by sending payloads."

## Use case

AI agents invoke dalfox_xss_scan to trigger actions in Intellirecon Console. 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 Intellirecon Console:

```json

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
