THE RISK

Low Risk

Why generate_report needs a policy

The tool name suggests generating a report, which is typically a Read/Write operation (reading analysis data and writing a report file). However, with no description available, it's unclear what side effects it may have. Given the server context (binary analysis), it most likely aggregates existing analysis results into a report document. Confidence is low due to missing description.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'generate_report'; description is empty or uninformative.

POLICY

How to control generate_report

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 generate_report:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate_report": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "generate_report_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

generate_report gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Binary MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
