get_permissions_issues
AI agents call get_permissions_issues to retrieve information from EMBA-MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries permission-related issues from firmware analysis results. While the description is empty, the 'get_' prefix and its placement among other read-only analysis tools strongly indicate it performs data retrieval.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_permissions_issues' follows the 'get_' prefix pattern consistent with sibling tools like 'get_binary_protection_mechanisms', 'get_kernel_info', and 'get_credentials_and_secrets', which are retrieval functions.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_permissions_issues gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and EMBA-MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_permissions_issues:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_permissions_issues": {}
}
}get_permissions_issues is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

get_permissions_issues. It is categorised as a Read tool in the EMBA-MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the EMBA- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_permissions_issues: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches EMBA-MCP. Nothing to install.
get_permissions_issues is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_permissions_issues rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_permissions_issues. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_permissions_issues is provided by the EMBA- MCP server (0xbuz3r/emba-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from EMBA-MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
