Why get_dotnet_types needs a policy

The tool retrieves metadata about .NET types from analyzed binaries—a read-only operation with no side effects, data modification, or code execution. It supports forensic analysis without changing system or binary state. Confidence is slightly reduced due to empty description, but naming and context strongly indicate a retrieval operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_dotnet_types' indicates retrieval of .NET type information from binaries. Context shows this is part of binary analysis tools (Ghidra, x64dbg, WinDbg, ILSpyCmd).

How to control get_dotnet_types

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 get_dotnet_types:

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

get_dotnet_types 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 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.
