Runs webpack build with JSON stats output and returns structured assets, errors, and warnings.

## Facts

- Tool: `webpack`
- Server: Docker (`@paretools/docker`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-docker.md
- Install: `npx -y @paretools/docker`
- Homepage: https://github.com/Dave-London/pare
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

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

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

## Why webpack is rated High

Webpack is a build tool that executes JavaScript bundling and can run arbitrary code through loaders and plugins. While the tool is scoped to returning JSON stats output, the webpack build process itself executes code and could be exploited to run unintended operations if the configuration is user-controlled or if malicious webpack plugins are present in dependencies.

From the tool's own definition: "'Runs webpack build' indicates code execution and build pipeline invocation, which can trigger arbitrary scripts defined in webpack configuration files (entry points, loaders, plugins, custom webpack config)."

## Use case

AI agents invoke webpack to trigger actions in Docker. 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 Docker:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "webpack": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "webpack_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
