What add_enum_value does on Kawaiidra MCP

Why add_enum_value needs a policy

This tool modifies Ghidra's internal enumeration definitions by adding a new value to an existing enum. This is a reversible, non-destructive operation that alters the analysis context (annotations, type definitions) rather than the underlying binary or external data. It does not execute code, delete data, or cause external side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Add a value to an existing enumeration.' The verb 'add' indicates creation or modification of data within Ghidra's analysis project.

How to control add_enum_value

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

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

add_enum_value 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 Kawaiidra MCP — 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.

Can I rate-limit add_enum_value? +

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