AI agents call get_entry_points to retrieve information from BinAssistMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about a binary file's entry points—a read-only operation that queries existing program structure without creating, modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It has no blast radius if misused by an AI agent, as it merely returns informational data about the binary being analyzed.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_entry_points' and description 'Get entry points of the binary' both indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects. The verb 'Get' explicitly denotes data querying.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_entry_points 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 get_entry_points:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_entry_points": {}
}
}get_entry_points is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get entry points of the binary. It is categorised as a Read tool in the BinAssistMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the BinAssist MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_entry_points: 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.
get_entry_points is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_entry_points 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_entry_points. 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.
get_entry_points 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.
