get_retdec_status

Get the current RetDec decompilation status, lazily initializing as needed.

How to control get_retdec_status ↓

AI agents call get_retdec_status 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

This tool retrieves the status of a RetDec decompilation process. It is a read-only operation that queries state information. The phrase 'lazily initializing as needed' refers to initialization of internal data structures to support the query, not execution of user-controlled code or modification of data. No side effects, irreversible actions, or external operations are triggered by this tool.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_retdec_status' and description 'Get the current RetDec decompilation status, lazily initializing as needed' indicate a query operation that retrieves status information without modifying or executing code.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_retdec_status 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_retdec_status:

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

get_retdec_status 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.

How do I enforce a policy on get_retdec_status? +

Register the Pwno MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_retdec_status: 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_retdec_status? +
