List all active pwndbg sessions with their IDs, targets, and working directories.
AI agents call pwndbg_list_sessions 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.
This tool retrieves and queries debugging session metadata (IDs, targets, working directories) without modifying or executing anything. While the severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because listing active debugging sessions could reveal sensitive information about what targets are being debugged (potentially exposing security analysis of proprietary or confidential systems), the core functionality is…

List all active pwndbg sessions with their IDs, targets, and working directories. 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_list_sessions: 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_list_sessions 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_list_sessions 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_list_sessions. 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_list_sessions 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.
