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

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

## Why ffuf_scan is rated High

ffuf (Fuzz Faster U Fool) is an active web fuzzing tool that sends large numbers of HTTP requests to discover hidden endpoints, files, and vulnerabilities. Even though the description is empty, the tool name strongly implies execution of active scanning/fuzzing against targets.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'ffuf_scan' on a penetration testing platform; ffuf is a well-known web fuzzer used for directory/endpoint brute-forcing and vulnerability discovery"

## Use case

AI agents invoke ffuf_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": {
    "ffuf_scan": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "ffuf_scan_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
