AI agents call get_current_address to retrieve information from GhidraMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool simply reads and returns the current address state from Ghidra's UI. It performs no writes, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. While it supports reverse engineering context alongside other tools on the server, this specific tool is a passive query that retrieves UI state only.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_current_address' and description 'Get the address currently selected by the user' indicate a query operation that retrieves the current cursor/selection state without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the address currently selected by the user. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GhidraMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ghidra MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_current_address: 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 GhidraMCP. Nothing to install.
get_current_address 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_current_address 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_current_address. 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_current_address is provided by the Ghidra MCP server (pr0cf5/ghidramcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
