Get detailed information about a specific module
AI agents call module_info to retrieve information from MCP Debug Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about a process module (likely name, base address, size, version, dependencies) without altering system state or executing arbitrary code. It is a read-only inspection operation typical of debugger information gathering. While it provides debugging context that could inform subsequent malicious actions, the tool itself has no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'module_info' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific module' indicate a query/retrieval operation. No modification, execution, or deletion of data is performed.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed information about a specific module. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Debug Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Debug Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for module_info: 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 MCP Debug Server. Nothing to install.
module_info 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 module_info 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 module_info. 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.
module_info is provided by the MCP Debug Server MCP server (nickzer0/mcp-debugserver). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
