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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why mittwald_app_ssh is rated High

SSH access allows arbitrary command execution on the remote server. An AI agent misusing this tool could run any shell commands, exfiltrate data, modify files, install malware, or cause complete system compromise. This is the highest-risk Execute-category action with critical blast radius.

From the tool's own definition: "Connect to an app via SSH"

## Use case

AI agents invoke mittwald_app_ssh to trigger actions in Mittwald MCP Server. 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 Mittwald MCP Server:

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