List all function names in the program with pagination.
AI agents call list_methods 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.
This tool performs a read-only query of binary metadata—specifically enumerating function names from a compiled binary. It retrieves information without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. The pagination parameter is for data presentation, not for altering state. This is consistent with other tools on the server like 'get_binary_info' and 'list_data', which are also Read-category tools.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_methods' and description 'List all function names in the program with pagination' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all function names in the program with pagination. 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 list_methods: 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.
list_methods 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 list_methods 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 list_methods. 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.
list_methods 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.
