AI agents call get_memory_dumps to retrieve information from JoeSandboxMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves pre-generated memory dump data from completed sandboxed analyses—a passive read operation with no side effects on the sandbox, target systems, or Joe Sandbox infrastructure. However, memory dumps may contain sensitive information (encryption keys, credentials, process memory), warranting medium severity if exposed to adversarial LLM agents.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_memory_dumps' indicates retrieval of memory dump artifacts from Joe Sandbox Cloud analysis results. Sibling tools (get_analysis_info, get_dropped_files, get_pcap_file) are all data retrieval operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_memory_dumps gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and JoeSandboxMCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_memory_dumps:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_memory_dumps": {}
}
}get_memory_dumps is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

get_memory_dumps. It is categorised as a Read tool in the JoeSandboxMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the JoeSandbox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_memory_dumps: 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 JoeSandboxMCP. Nothing to install.
get_memory_dumps 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 get_memory_dumps 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 get_memory_dumps. 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.
get_memory_dumps is provided by the JoeSandbox MCP server (joesecurity/joesandboxmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from JoeSandboxMCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
