What get_param_sinks does on Binary MCP Server

AI agents call get_param_sinks to retrieve information from Binary MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_param_sinks needs a policy

The 'get_' prefix and 'sinks' terminology (a static analysis concept) suggest this tool retrieves existing information about potential security sinks in function parameters without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. No side effects are implied. The lack of a description reduces confidence from high to medium-high, but the semantic context of binary analysis tools supports a Read classification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_param_sinks' suggests retrieval of parameter sink data. The description is empty, limiting confidence, but the name pattern 'get_*' and context within a binary analysis server (alongside tools like analyze_*, check_*, decompile_*) indicates…

How to control get_param_sinks

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_param_sinks:

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

get_param_sinks 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.
