What get_modules does on WinDbg GUI MCP Server

AI agents call get_modules to retrieve information from WinDbg GUI MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_modules needs a policy

This tool queries the debugger for metadata about loaded modules—their names, base addresses, sizes, and symbols. It performs no code execution, memory modification, or state changes. The read-only nature of module inspection in debuggers, combined with the informational context of sibling tools, clearly places this in the Read category with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_modules' and description '获取已加载模块的信息' (retrieve information about loaded modules) indicate a query operation that retrieves debugger state without modification or side effects.
