What memory_dump_region does on Jshookmcp
AI agents call memory_dump_region to retrieve information from Jshookmcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why memory_dump_region is rated Low
Extracts sensitive runtime data from process memory without modifying it, but high blast radius due to credential/secret exposure risk.
From the tool's definition Dump process memory region to binary file for offline analysis.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs memory_dump_region safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Jshookmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For memory_dump_region, this is the rule to start with:
memory_dump_region is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Jshookmcp, apply this rule, and every memory_dump_region call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about memory_dump_region
Dump a process memory region to a binary file for offline analysis. If pid is omitted, the active browser renderer PID is auto-discovered from the current browser session. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Jshookmcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Jshook MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_dump_region: 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 Jshookmcp. Nothing to install.
memory_dump_region 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 memory_dump_region 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 memory_dump_region. 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.
memory_dump_region is provided by the Jshook MCP server (@jshookmcp/jshook). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
