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

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

## Why patator_attack is rated High

Patator is a brute-force/credential-stuffing attack tool. Even though the description is empty, the tool name combined with the server context (Kali Linux penetration testing) strongly implies it executes active attack operations against target systems.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'patator_attack' references Patator, a well-known multi-purpose brute-force attack tool used in penetration testing for credential attacks against services (SSH, FTP, HTTP, databases, etc.)."

## Use case

AI agents invoke patator_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": {
    "patator_attack": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "patator_attack_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
