scan_pattern

Scan for Array of Bytes (AoB) pattern.

How to control scan_pattern ↓

AI agents call scan_pattern to retrieve information from Frida Game Hacking MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool scans memory for byte patterns, which is a read/search operation with no direct side effects. However, in the context of a game hacking/reverse engineering server, the results are typically used to enable subsequent memory modification or code injection, increasing the severity.

From the tool's definition Scan for Array of Bytes (AoB) pattern

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access scan_pattern gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Frida Game Hacking MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for scan_pattern:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "scan_pattern": {}
  }
}

scan_pattern is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Frida Game Hacking MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I block scan_pattern completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for scan_pattern. 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.

What MCP server provides scan_pattern? +
