Get local variables.
AI agents call info_locals to retrieve information from WineDbg MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries local variable values from a debugged process. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute arbitrary code, delete resources, or affect financial systems. It is purely informational retrieval during debugging, consistent with Read category operations like 'get' or 'fetch'.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'info_locals' and description 'Get local variables' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves debugging information without modifying state or executing code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get local variables. It is categorised as a Read tool in the WineDbg MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the WineDbg MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for info_locals: 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 WineDbg MCP Server. Nothing to install.
info_locals 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 info_locals 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 info_locals. 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.
info_locals is provided by the WineDbg MCP Server MCP server (maci0/mcp-winedbg). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
