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

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

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "graphql_scanner",
    "arguments": {}

## Why graphql_scanner is rated High

The tool name 'graphql_scanner' strongly implies active scanning of GraphQL endpoints — an Execute-category action that probes external systems. The description is empty, so exact behavior is uncertain, but the offensive security context and sibling tools (payload generation, attack suites, vulnerability assessment) indicate this scans/interrogates remote GraphQL APIs, potentially exposing introspection data,…

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'graphql_scanner' on a penetration testing platform ('AI Powered penetration testing Platform for offensive security research') alongside sibling tools like 'advanced_payload_generation', 'ai_generate_attack_suite', and 'ai_vulnerability_assessment'."

## Use case

AI agents invoke graphql_scanner 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": {
    "graphql_scanner": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "graphql_scanner_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
