## Facts

- Tool: `http_repeater`
- Server: Pengstrike (`wangqiongpeng/pengstrike-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/pengstrike-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/wangqiongpeng/pengstrike-mcp
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

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

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

## Why http_repeater is rated High

This tool sends arbitrary HTTP requests to external targets with full control over URL, method, headers, cookies, and body data — equivalent to Burp Suite's Repeater. It triggers real external operations whose effects depend entirely on the arguments provided (e.g., could POST data, trigger state changes, probe authenticated endpoints).

From the tool's own definition: "Send a crafted request (Burp Repeater equivalent). request_spec keys: url, method, headers, cookies, data."

## Use case

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