What create_enum does on Kawaiidra MCP

AI agents use create_enum to create or update resources in Kawaiidra MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Kawaiidra MCP environment.

Why create_enum needs a policy

This tool creates or defines a new enum type in Ghidra's internal database/project, which is a reversible modification of analysis metadata. It does not execute code, delete data, or produce external side effects. Creating enums is a standard reverse engineering annotation task used to improve code readability during analysis.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_enum' and description 'Create a new enumeration data type with values' indicate it creates a new data type artifact within the Ghidra binary analysis environment.

How to control create_enum

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 create_enum:

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

create_enum 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.

How do I enforce a policy on create_enum? +

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

What risk level is create_enum? +

create_enum is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_enum? +

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

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

create_enum is provided by the Kawaiidra MCP server (wagonbomb/kawaiidra-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
