AI agents call cursor_addr to retrieve information from Ida Domain without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries the current cursor position/address in IDA Pro's analysis state. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves information without side effects, matching the 'Read' category definition of retrieving or querying data. The low severity reflects minimal risk from misuse, as an AI agent obtaining this information cannot cause harm or alter system state.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'cursor_addr' and description states 'Get current address' — a pure retrieval operation with no modification or execution of code.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access cursor_addr gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ida Domain, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for cursor_addr:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"cursor_addr": {}
}
}cursor_addr is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get current address. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ida Domain MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ida Domain MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cursor_addr: 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 Ida Domain. Nothing to install.
cursor_addr 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 cursor_addr 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 cursor_addr. 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.
cursor_addr is provided by the Ida Domain MCP server (xxyyue/ida_domain_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Ida Domain, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
