How to control export_program ↓

AI agents use export_program to create or update resources in BinAssistMCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your BinAssistMCP environment.

Medium Risk

Export operations create or write output files, placing this in the Write category rather than Read (which would be retrieve-only). Without a description, confidence is reduced, but the name strongly suggests data output/serialization.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'export_program' with no description provided. Based on context of a binary analysis tool suite and naming convention, this likely writes/exports binary analysis data or modified binaries to files.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access export_program 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 export_program:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "export_program": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "export_program_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

export_program stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes 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 export_program tool do? +

export_program. It is categorised as a Write tool in the BinAssistMCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on export_program? +

Register the BinAssist MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_program: 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 export_program? +

export_program is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit export_program? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the export_program 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 export_program completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for export_program. 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 export_program? +

export_program 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.
