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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "ghidra_analysis",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why ghidra_analysis is rated High

Ghidra is a reverse engineering framework used to disassemble and analyze binaries. On a security-focused MCP server with offensive tooling siblings, this tool likely executes Ghidra analysis tasks against target binaries. The description is empty, so confidence is reduced, but the tool name strongly implies execution of binary analysis operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'ghidra_analysis' on a security recon server with sibling tools like 'advanced_payload_generation', 'ai_generate_attack_suite', and 'ai_vulnerability_assessment'"

## Use case

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