List entry points.

How to control list_entry_points ↓

AI agents call list_entry_points to retrieve information from CutterMCP-plus 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 static information about entry points in a binary without executing code, modifying data, or triggering side effects. Entry point listing is a standard reverse-engineering read operation used for analysis and understanding program structure.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_entry_points' and description 'List entry points' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or execution of code. Consistent with other Read tools on this server (list_functions, list_globals, current_address).

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

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

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

list_entry_points 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 CutterMCP-plus — 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 list_entry_points tool do? +

List entry points. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CutterMCP-plus MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_entry_points? +

Register the CutterMCP-plus MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_entry_points: 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 CutterMCP-plus. Nothing to install.

What risk level is list_entry_points? +

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

Can I rate-limit list_entry_points? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_entry_points 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 list_entry_points completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_entry_points. 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 list_entry_points? +

list_entry_points is provided by the CutterMCP-plus MCP server (restkhz/cuttermcp-plus). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every CutterMCP-plus tool call.
