AI agents call procinfo to retrieve information from Pwndbg without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool queries and displays existing process information (memory mappings, registers, status, etc.) typical of debugger introspection. This is purely informational with no side effects, modifications, or code execution. While used in a debugging context for security research, the tool itself only reads process state.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Display current process infomation' — a read-only operation that retrieves and presents process metadata without modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access procinfo gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Pwndbg, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for procinfo:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"procinfo": {}
}
}procinfo is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Display current process infomation. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Pwndbg MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Pwndbg MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for procinfo: 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 Pwndbg. Nothing to install.
procinfo 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 procinfo 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 procinfo. 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.
procinfo is provided by the Pwndbg MCP server (rocketmadev/pwndbg-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
