What get_threads does on WinDbg GUI MCP Server

AI agents call get_threads 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_threads needs a policy

The tool queries thread state in a debugger context, returning existing data without modification, creation, deletion, or execution of arbitrary code. While the debugger environment is sensitive, read-only inspection of threads poses minimal risk compared to command execution or memory modification tools on this server.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_threads' and description '获取所有线程的信息' (retrieve information about all threads) indicate a data retrieval operation with no side effects.
