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

```json

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why feroxbuster_scan is rated High

Feroxbuster is a fast, recursive content discovery tool used in security reconnaissance that actively probes web servers by sending large volumes of HTTP requests. Even though the description is empty, the tool name strongly implies execution of an external scanning process against a target host. This is an active operation with external side effects (network traffic to target), classifying it as Execute.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'feroxbuster_scan' — feroxbuster is a well-known aggressive web content discovery/directory brute-forcing tool that actively sends HTTP requests to a target."

## Use case

AI agents invoke feroxbuster_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:
