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

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

## Why metasploit_run is rated High

This tool runs Metasploit modules whose effects are entirely argument-dependent and can range from reconnaissance to full system compromise. While Metasploit itself is a legitimate penetration testing framework, exposing module execution to an AI agent without strict constraints is critical risk—the agent could be manipulated into running destructive or malicious payloads.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'metasploit_run' and description 'Execute a Metasploit module with enhanced logging' explicitly state execution of Metasploit modules, which are external security tools that run arbitrary payloads and exploits."

## Use case

AI agents invoke metasploit_run 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
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "metasploit_run": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "metasploit_run_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
