WHAT IT DOES

What binwalk_analyze does on Nyxstrike

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs binwalk_analyze safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nyxstrike, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For binwalk_analyze, this is the rule to start with:

binwalk_analyze Rate-limited

binwalk_analyze 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.
