wasm_inspect
Pure-TS wasm binary structural inspector (no wabt dependency). Parses the module surface — types, imports, functions (with name-section recovery), tables, memories, globals, exports, start, element/data/code segment counts, and custom sections (name/producers/target_features) — directly from the ...

What wasm_inspect does on Jshookmcp
AI agents call wasm_inspect 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 wasm_inspect is rated Low
Tool inspects and analyzes WASM binary structure without executing code or modifying data.
From the tool's definition Parses module surface, returns structured JSON, no code-body disassembly.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs wasm_inspect 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 wasm_inspect, this is the rule to start with:
wasm_inspect 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 wasm_inspect call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about wasm_inspect
Pure-TS wasm binary structural inspector (no wabt dependency). Parses the module surface — types, imports, functions (with name-section recovery), tables, memories, globals, exports, start, element/data/code segment counts, and custom sections (name/producers/target_features) — directly from the binary, returning structured JSON. The wabt-independent counterpart to wasm_inspect_sections (wasm-objdump): the only structural path when wabt is unavailable (see wasm_capabilities). Honest boundary: structure only, no code-body disassembly; element/data/global-init payloads reported as counts. 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 wasm_inspect: 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.
wasm_inspect 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 wasm_inspect 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 wasm_inspect. 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.
wasm_inspect 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.
