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

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

## Why nbtscan_netbios is rated High

NBTScan is a tool that actively scans networks for NetBIOS name information, which constitutes an external network operation (Execute category). The server context includes offensive security tools like payload generation and vulnerability assessment, reinforcing that this is an active scan tool. Empty description lowers confidence, but the name strongly implies active network reconnaissance.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'nbtscan_netbios' implies active NetBIOS network scanning; server context is a security recon console with offensive tooling"

## Use case

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