Get thread info.
AI agents call info_threads 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 retrieves thread information from the debugger's state. It is a read-only query operation with no side effects—it does not modify, execute, or delete anything. Even in a debugging context, querying thread metadata is a passive information retrieval action. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an attacker can only learn about thread state, not manipulate execution or cause destructive changes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'info_threads' and description 'Get thread info' indicate a retrieval/query operation that returns information about debugger threads without modifying state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get thread info. 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_threads: 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_threads 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_threads 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_threads. 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_threads 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.
