memory_trace_code
Ultimap-style instruction-level code tracing. Sets INT3 (0xCC) software breakpoints at function entry points and logs every execution. Aggregates hit counts per address to produce a hot-code-path heat map. Win32-only — requires the Win32 debug API (DebugActiveProcess). Provide either

What memory_trace_code does on Jshookmcp
AI agents invoke memory_trace_code to trigger actions in Jshookmcp. 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.
Why memory_trace_code is rated High
Attaches debugger to processes and injects breakpoints, enabling deep execution monitoring and code manipulation.
From the tool's definition Sets INT3 breakpoints, DebugActiveProcess, logs every execution

The rule that runs memory_trace_code 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_trace_code, this is the rule to start with:
memory_trace_code stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. 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_trace_code call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about memory_trace_code
Ultimap-style instruction-level code tracing. Sets INT3 (0xCC) software breakpoints at function entry points and logs every execution. Aggregates hit counts per address to produce a hot-code-path heat map. Win32-only — requires the Win32 debug API (DebugActiveProcess). Provide either. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Jshookmcp MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Jshook MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_trace_code: 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_trace_code is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the memory_trace_code 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_trace_code. 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_trace_code 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.
