quit · WineDbg MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What quit does on WineDbg MCP Server

AI agents invoke quit to trigger actions in WineDbg MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why quit needs a policy

Quitting the debugger terminates the winedbg process and active debugging session. This is an external operation that affects the runtime state of the debugger and potentially the attached process, making it Execute. It is not purely destructive (no data is deleted), but it triggers a significant external operation that ends the debugging session and may affect the target application's state.

Verdict

quit Rate-limited

quit stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
