AHK_Debug_DBGp

AutoHotkey v2 debugger via DBGp protocol. Enables autonomous debugging: capture errors, analyze them, and auto-apply fixes. Actions: - start: Start DBGp listener (waits for AHK /Debug connection) - stop: Stop DBGp listener - status: Get connection status - run: Continue execution - step_into/step...

How to control AHK_Debug_DBGp ↓

AI agents invoke AHK_Debug_DBGp to trigger actions in Ahk. 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

This tool can execute and control running AHK processes via the DBGp debug protocol, step through code execution, and critically can auto-apply code fixes directly to files. The combination of controlling program execution and modifying source files represents a high-severity Execute (bordering on Write) capability.

From the tool's definition 'autonomous debugging: capture errors, analyze them, and auto-apply fixes', 'apply_fix: Auto-apply code fix to file', 'step_into/step_over/step_out: Step debugging', 'run: Continue execution'

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

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

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

AHK_Debug_DBGp 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 Ahk — 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 AHK_Debug_DBGp tool do? +

AutoHotkey v2 debugger via DBGp protocol. Enables autonomous debugging: capture errors, analyze them, and auto-apply fixes. Actions: - start: Start DBGp listener (waits for AHK /Debug connection) - stop: Stop DBGp listener - status: Get connection status - run: Continue execution - step_into/step_over/step_out: Step debugging - capture_error: Wait for next error with full context - analyze_error: Build analysis prompt from error - apply_fix: Auto-apply code fix to file - list_errors/clear_errors: Manage error queue - get_source: Get source lines around a line - breakpoint_set/remove/list: Manage breakpoints - variables_get: Get variables (context: 0=local, 1=global) - evaluate: Evaluate expression - stack_trace: Get call stack. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Ahk MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on AHK_Debug_DBGp? +

Register the Ahk MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for AHK_Debug_DBGp: 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 Ahk. Nothing to install.

What risk level is AHK_Debug_DBGp? +

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

Can I rate-limit AHK_Debug_DBGp? +

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

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

AHK_Debug_DBGp is provided by the Ahk MCP server (truecrimedev/ahk-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Ahk tool call.
