What delete_session does on Binary MCP Server

AI agents call delete_session to permanently remove resources in Binary MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

Why delete_session needs a policy

This tool destructively removes user-created session artifacts (likely Ghidra, x64dbg, or WinDbg debug sessions) without reversibility. While the blast radius is limited to analytical sessions rather than production systems, the loss of detailed debugging work and analysis state qualifies as high-severity destructive action. An AI agent tricked into deleting sessions could lose hours of analysis effort.

From the tool's definition 'Delete a saved session' — the tool irreversibly removes stored session data with no undo mechanism mentioned.

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

How to control delete_session

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_session"
  ]
}

delete_session disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Binary MCP Server — 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.
