AI agents call get_function_low_level_il 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 and displays Low Level Intermediate Language (IL) representation of a function from a binary analysis context. It performs no side effects, creates no new data, and does not modify the binary or analysis state. This is a passive querying operation typical of reverse engineering analysis tools, making it a Read category risk with minimal severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_function_low_level_il' and description 'Get Low Level IL for a function' indicate retrieval of intermediate representation data without modification. The verb 'Get' explicitly signals a read operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_function_low_level_il 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_function_low_level_il:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_function_low_level_il": {}
}
}get_function_low_level_il is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get Low Level IL for a function. 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_function_low_level_il: 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_function_low_level_il 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_function_low_level_il 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_function_low_level_il. 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_function_low_level_il 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.
