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

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

    "name": "msfvenom_generate",
    "arguments": {}

## Why msfvenom_generate is rated High

msfvenom is the Metasploit payload generation tool used to craft exploit payloads, shellcode, and malicious binaries. Even though the description is empty, the tool name unambiguously refers to generating offensive security payloads. In the context of a recon console with attack suite generation siblings, this tool likely generates executable attack payloads.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'msfvenom_generate' — msfvenom is a well-known Metasploit Framework payload/shellcode generator used to create malicious executables, shellcode, and exploit payloads."

## Use case

AI agents invoke msfvenom_generate 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": {
    "msfvenom_generate": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "msfvenom_generate_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
