How to control assemble_code ↓

AI agents invoke assemble_code to trigger actions in BinAssistMCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

The name 'assemble_code' strongly implies converting assembly language instructions into machine code bytes, likely injecting or patching them into a binary. In a reverse engineering context, this is an Execute-level operation (running/generating machine code) that could also modify binary data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'assemble_code' on a binary analysis/reverse engineering server (BinAssistMCP) that provides 40+ analysis tools including binary manipulation capabilities

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

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "assemble_code": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "assemble_code_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

assemble_code stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register BinAssistMCP — 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.

What does the assemble_code tool do? +

assemble_code. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the BinAssistMCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on assemble_code? +

Register the BinAssist MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for assemble_code: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches BinAssistMCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is assemble_code? +

assemble_code is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit assemble_code? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the assemble_code rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block assemble_code completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for assemble_code. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides assemble_code? +

assemble_code is provided by the BinAssist MCP server (symgraph/binassistmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every BinAssistMCP tool call.
