Disassemble a function from a binary
AI agents call disassemble_function to retrieve information from Binary Ninja Cline MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Disassembly is a read-only operation that retrieves and displays the machine code representation of a function. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any code; it merely queries and presents information from an already-loaded binary. This aligns with the Read category (retrieves or queries data; no side effects).
From the tool's definition Tool name 'disassemble_function' and description 'Disassemble a function from a binary' indicate retrieval and analysis of binary code without modification. Disassembly is a static analysis operation that reads and presents existing binary data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Disassemble a function from a binary. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Binary Ninja Cline MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Binary Ninja Cline MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for disassemble_function: 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 Binary Ninja Cline MCP Server. Nothing to install.
disassemble_function 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 disassemble_function 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 disassemble_function. 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.
disassemble_function is provided by the Binary Ninja Cline MCP Server MCP server (opensensor/bn_cline_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
