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

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

## Why dalfox_xss_scan is rated High

Dalfox is an active XSS scanning and exploitation tool that executes payloads against target web applications to find and verify XSS vulnerabilities. This constitutes executing external operations against target systems. The description is empty, so confidence is reduced, but the tool name and server context make the classification clear.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'dalfox_xss_scan' references Dalfox, a well-known open-source XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) vulnerability scanner and exploitation tool. Server is an 'AI Powered penetration testing Platform for offensive security research'."

## Use case

AI agents invoke dalfox_xss_scan to trigger actions in Nyxstrike. 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 Nyxstrike:

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