The rule that runs ghidra_analysis 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 ghidra_analysis, this is the rule to start with:
ghidra_analysis 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Nyxstrike, apply this rule, and every ghidra_analysis call is checked against it from then on.

ghidra_analysis is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ghidra_analysis 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.
