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

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

## Why generate_exploit_from_cve is rated High

Despite an empty description, the tool name unambiguously describes generating exploits from known CVE vulnerabilities. In the context of a security recon console with sibling tools for payload generation, attack suite creation, and payload testing, this tool almost certainly produces executable exploit code.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'generate_exploit_from_cve' strongly implies generating exploit code from CVE identifiers; sibling tools include 'advanced_payload_generation', 'ai_generate_attack_suite', 'ai_test_payload', confirming offensive security context"

## Use case

AI agents invoke generate_exploit_from_cve to trigger actions in Pengstrike. 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 Pengstrike:

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