Return metadata about the currently built index.
AI agents call get_index_info to retrieve information from Ghidra Api without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns metadata about an existing index without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward informational read operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_index_info' and description 'Return metadata about the currently built index' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Return metadata about the currently built index. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ghidra Api MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ghidra Api MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_index_info: 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 Ghidra Api. Nothing to install.
get_index_info 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_index_info 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_index_info. 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_index_info is provided by the Ghidra Api MCP server (taardisaa/ghidra-api-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
