AI agents call dbg_list_bps 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 only retrieves and displays existing breakpoint data from a debugger session. Listing breakpoints has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not delete anything. It is a read-only informational query typical of reverse engineering workflows in IDA Pro. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only learn about debugging breakpoints that were previously set.
From the tool's definition The tool name 'dbg_list_bps' (list breakpoints) and description 'List breakpoints' indicate a query operation that retrieves debugging information without modifying any state or executing code.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access dbg_list_bps 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_list_bps:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"dbg_list_bps": {}
}
}dbg_list_bps is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
List breakpoints. 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 dbg_list_bps: 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_list_bps 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 dbg_list_bps 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_list_bps. 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_list_bps 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.
