## Facts

- Tool: `webpack`
- Server: Search (`Dave-London/Pare`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-pare-search.md
- 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 build execution is a code execution operation that can run arbitrary scripts and transformations beyond the user's direct input. The tool invokes an external build system whose behavior depends on webpack configuration files and can execute untrusted code through loaders and plugins.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Runs webpack build' - this executes a build process with external side effects. Webpack can compile code, invoke plugins, execute lifecycle hooks, and trigger npm scripts or arbitrary JavaScript code."

## Use case

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

```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`
