Why show_special_info needs a policy

Based on the server's stated purpose (analyze executable files, examine structures, detect packers/compilers, gather forensic information) and the tool's name indicating information retrieval rather than modification or execution, this tool most likely performs a Read operation that queries and displays special forensic metadata from analyzed files.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'show_special_info' suggests retrieval of metadata or forensic information from executable files. The server description indicates analysis and examination of files without modification, deletion, or code execution.

How to control show_special_info

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and DIE MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for show_special_info:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "show_special_info": {}
  }
}

show_special_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register DIE MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
