AI agents use dbg_add_bp to create or update resources in Ida Domain — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ida Domain environment.
Adding breakpoints modifies the debugger state in IDA Pro by inserting breakpoint entries into the database or debug session. This is a reversible write operation (breakpoints can be removed), not destructive. It doesn't execute code or move money. Severity is medium because misuse could interfere with reverse engineering workflows or cause unintended program behavior during debugging.
From the tool's definition dbg_add_bp - 'Add breakpoints'
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access dbg_add_bp 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 dbg_add_bp:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"dbg_add_bp": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "dbg_add_bp_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}dbg_add_bp 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.
Free to start. No card required.
Add breakpoints. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ida Domain MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Ida Domain MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for dbg_add_bp: 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.
dbg_add_bp is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the dbg_add_bp 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 dbg_add_bp. 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.
dbg_add_bp 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.
