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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "x8_parameter_discovery",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why x8_parameter_discovery is rated High

Parameter discovery tools like x8 actively probe web applications by sending HTTP requests to discover hidden parameters, which constitutes external operation execution. The server's offensive security context (payload generation, vulnerability assessment, attack suites) elevates the severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'x8_parameter_discovery' suggests active parameter discovery/fuzzing against a target — a common offensive security technique."

## Use case

AI agents invoke x8_parameter_discovery 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": {
    "x8_parameter_discovery": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "x8_parameter_discovery_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
