What get_global_value does on Ida Domain

AI agents call get_global_value 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 get_global_value needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves global variable values from a reverse-engineered binary database without modifying, deleting, or executing any code. It has no side effects beyond returning information. It is purely informational/analytical in nature, consistent with other sibling tools like analyze_funcs and analyze_strings which are typical read-only reverse engineering analysis tools.

From the tool's definition Tool description states: 'Read global variable values by address or name'. The verb 'Read' and the passive retrieval of existing global variable data with no modification capability indicates a data retrieval operation.

How to control get_global_value

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 get_global_value:

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

get_global_value 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.
