How to control get_context ↓

AI agents call get_context to retrieve information from Pwno without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

The tool appears to retrieve debugger context information within a stateful debugging session. With no description provided, confidence is moderate. In a debugging context, retrieving state (registers, memory, breakpoints, etc.) is a read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_context' suggests retrieval of debugging context/state. Description is empty; inferred from naming convention and server purpose (debugging system). Likely queries current debugger state without modifying it.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_context gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Pwno, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_context:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_context": {}
  }
}

get_context is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Pwno — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the get_context tool do? +

get_context. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Pwno MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_context? +

Register the Pwno MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_context: 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 Pwno. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_context? +

get_context is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_context? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_context 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.

How do I block get_context completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_context. 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.

What MCP server provides get_context? +

get_context is provided by the Pwno MCP server (pwno-io/pwno-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Pwno tool call.
