## Facts

- Tool: `medusa_attack`
- Server: Kali Security MCP (`seac-25/kali-security-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/seac-25-kali-security-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/SeaC-25/Kali-Security-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": "medusa_attack",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why medusa_attack is rated High

Medusa is a well-known parallel brute-force authentication tool that actively attempts credential combinations against remote services (SSH, FTP, HTTP, etc.). This tool executes live network attacks against authentication systems, which constitutes active offensive execution with high blast radius — it can compromise remote accounts and services.

From the tool's own definition: "medusa_attack — 'Medusa 执行口令验证测试' (execute password/credential verification testing using Medusa, a parallel brute-force login tool)"

## Use case

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