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

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

## Why ffuf_scan is rated High

ffuf is a well-known offensive security tool (web fuzzer) included in Kali Linux. It executes active scanning/fuzzing operations against web servers, which constitutes running external operations. The description is empty, so confidence is reduced, but the tool name strongly implies active web fuzzing execution.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'ffuf_scan' on a server described as integrating Kali Linux security tools for penetration testing. ffuf is a fast web fuzzer used for directory/file brute-forcing and parameter fuzzing against web targets."

## Use case

AI agents invoke ffuf_scan to trigger actions in Kali Security MCP. 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 Kali Security MCP:

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