# process_suspend

Suspend a process for forensic snapshotting. Cross-platform: NtSuspendProcess (Win32), SIGSTOP (Linux), task_suspend (macOS). Pair with process_resume to restore. Use before memory_scan/dump for a consistent snapshot. Requires admin/root on most platforms.

## Facts

- Tool: `process_suspend`
- Server: Jshookmcp (`@jshookmcp/jshook`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-vmoranv-jshookmcp.md
- Install: `npx -y @jshookmcp/jshook`
- Homepage: https://github.com/vmoranv/jshookmcp
- 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": "process_suspend",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why process_suspend is rated High

Suspending a process affects running system state and requires elevated privileges.

From the tool's own definition: "Suspend a process... NtSuspendProcess, SIGSTOP, task_suspend"

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case

AI agents invoke process_suspend to trigger actions in Jshookmcp. 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 Jshookmcp:

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