## Facts

- Tool: `module_load`
- Server: CLIO Adios (`pypi:clio-kit`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp.md
- Install: `npx -y pypi:clio-kit`
- Homepage: https://github.com/iowarp/clio-kit
- 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": "module_load",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why module_load is rated High

Loading environment modules executes system-level operations that alter PATH, library paths, and environment variables for the current session. This is an Execute-category action because it triggers external operations (module system commands) whose effects depend on arguments (which modules are loaded). Misuse could load malicious or conflicting modules affecting subsequent operations, warranting medium severity.

From the tool's own definition: "'Load one or more environment modules into the current session' — actively modifies the runtime environment by loading modules, triggering external operations that change the execution context."

## Use case

AI agents invoke module_load to trigger actions in CLIO Adios. 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 CLIO Adios:

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