Why analyze_structure needs a policy

This is purely a data retrieval and analysis operation. Returning code structure information is passive analysis similar to listing or querying code properties. There is no modification, execution, deletion, or financial impact. The tool has no capability to alter system state or trigger external operations.

How to control analyze_structure

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

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

analyze_structure 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 Deobfuscate 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.
