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

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

```

## Why trivy_scan is rated High

Trivy is a security scanning tool that executes active scans to detect vulnerabilities in container images, filesystems, repositories, and infrastructure. In the context of IntelliRecon (a security recon console with sibling tools like amass_scan, ai_vulnerability_assessment, and advanced_payload_generation), this tool almost certainly runs a Trivy scan against a target.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'trivy_scan' — Trivy is a well-known open-source vulnerability/security scanner that executes scans against targets, containers, or filesystems. Description is empty, lowering confidence."

## Use case

AI agents invoke trivy_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
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "trivy_scan": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "trivy_scan_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
