Return RetDec decompiled C code if available, or a status describing why not.
AI agents call get_decompiled_code 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.
This tool retrieves pre-computed decompilation results (or status metadata about why they are unavailable). It performs a query/fetch operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. While it operates within a security-sensitive debugging context (pwno-mcp for binary research), the tool itself is read-only data retrieval.
From the tool's definition Tool returns decompiled code if available or status information describing why not. The verb 'Return' and lack of any modification, deletion, or execution language indicate a data retrieval operation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_decompiled_code 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_decompiled_code:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_decompiled_code": {}
}
}get_decompiled_code is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Return RetDec decompiled C code if available, or a status describing why not. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Pwno MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Pwno MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_decompiled_code: 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.
get_decompiled_code 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_decompiled_code 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_decompiled_code. 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_decompiled_code 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.
