List all threads in the debuggee process: TID, handle, entry address, TEB, state, priority, name.
AI agents call get_threads to retrieve information from x64dbg MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves debugging metadata about threads in the target process. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, or cause irreversible changes. It is purely informational, consistent with read-only debugging introspection. In a reverse-engineering context, thread enumeration is a standard, low-risk analysis capability.
From the tool's definition Tool performs a 'List' operation to retrieve thread information (TID, handle, entry address, TEB, state, priority, name) from the debuggee process without modifying any state or triggering execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all threads in the debuggee process: TID, handle, entry address, TEB, state, priority, name. It is categorised as a Read tool in the x64dbg MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the x64dbg MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_threads: 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 x64dbg MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_threads 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 get_threads 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 get_threads. 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.
get_threads is provided by the x64dbg MCP Server MCP server (ouonet/x64dbg-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
