What export_funcs does on Ida Domain

AI agents call export_funcs 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.

Why export_funcs needs a policy

Exporting function data is fundamentally a read/retrieval operation — it queries IDA Pro's analysis database and serializes function information into an output format. No modification, deletion, or execution of code is implied. Severity is medium because function data from a reverse engineering session may contain sensitive intellectual property or security-relevant information about binaries being analyzed.

How to control export_funcs

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 export_funcs:

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

export_funcs 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 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.

How do I enforce a policy on export_funcs? +

Register the Ida Domain MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_funcs: 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 export_funcs? +

export_funcs is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit export_funcs? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the export_funcs 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 export_funcs completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for export_funcs. 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 export_funcs? +

export_funcs 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.

Free to start. No card required.
