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

```json

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why dotdotpwn_scan is rated High

DotDotPwn is an offensive security tool that actively probes and exploits directory traversal vulnerabilities on target systems. The server context ('AI Powered penetration testing Platform for offensive security research') and sibling tools (payload generation, attack suites, aircrack, etc.) confirm this is an active offensive scanning/exploitation tool.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'dotdotpwn_scan' references DotDotPwn, a well-known directory traversal fuzzer/scanner used in penetration testing to exploit path traversal vulnerabilities on target systems."

## Use case

AI agents invoke dotdotpwn_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

  "tools": {
    "dotdotpwn_scan": {
      "limits": [
        {

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
