Why get_data_structures needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries data structure metadata from a binary without altering the binary, creating side effects, or executing any operations. It is purely analytical/read-only. The low severity reflects that misuse by an AI agent would only risk information disclosure, not system compromise or data loss.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Extract[s] struct/class definitions and data type information from the binary.' The verb 'extract' and 'get' prefix indicate pure information retrieval with no modification, creation, deletion, or execution of code.

How to control get_data_structures

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 get_data_structures:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_data_structures": {}
  }
}

get_data_structures is read-only, so it stays allowed — but 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.
