What dbg_enable_bp does on Ida Domain

AI agents invoke dbg_enable_bp to trigger actions in Ida Domain. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

Why dbg_enable_bp needs a policy

Enabling or disabling breakpoints in IDA Pro's debugger directly affects program execution behavior. This is an Execute-category action as it modifies the runtime control flow of a process being debugged. Misuse could cause a debugger to miss critical breakpoints or allow execution to proceed past intended stops, with high severity given the reverse engineering/security analysis context.

From the tool's definition 'Enable/disable breakpoints' - controlling breakpoints in a debugger affects execution flow and debugging state of a running process

How to control dbg_enable_bp

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_enable_bp:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "dbg_enable_bp": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "dbg_enable_bp_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

dbg_enable_bp stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Ida Domain — 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.

Questions about dbg_enable_bp

What does the dbg_enable_bp tool do? +

Enable/disable breakpoints. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Ida Domain MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on dbg_enable_bp? +

Register the Ida Domain MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for dbg_enable_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.

What risk level is dbg_enable_bp? +

dbg_enable_bp is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit dbg_enable_bp? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the dbg_enable_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.

How do I block dbg_enable_bp completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for dbg_enable_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.

What MCP server provides dbg_enable_bp? +

dbg_enable_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.

Enforce policy on every Ida Domain tool call.

Start from Ida Domain, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
