pwndbg_distance
AI agents call pwndbg_distance to retrieve information from Pwndbg Lldb without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The 'distance' command in pwndbg/GDB contexts typically calculates the distance (offset) between two memory addresses or symbols, which is a read/query operation with no side effects. However, confidence is low because the description is empty and the exact behavior cannot be confirmed from the tool metadata alone.

pwndbg_distance. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Pwndbg Lldb MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Pwndbg Lldb MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pwndbg_distance: 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 Pwndbg Lldb. Nothing to install.
pwndbg_distance 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 pwndbg_distance 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 pwndbg_distance. 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.
pwndbg_distance is provided by the Pwndbg Lldb MCP server (micro-evaluation-group/pwndbg-lldb-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
