While the description is empty, the name and sibling tools (analyze_*, decompile_*, check_*) suggest this server is focused on analysis rather than modification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_function_callers' indicates a query operation that retrieves caller information for a function. The server context involves binary analysis tools (Ghidra, x64dbg, WinDbg, ILSpyCmd) where introspection and analysis are primary use cases.

How to control get_function_callers

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_function_callers:

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

get_function_callers 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.
