Safety notes

Reverse engineering may be legally or contractually restricted; confirm authorization before analyzing proprietary binaries or third-party samples., Malware samples and exploit tooling should be handled in isolated environments with network and filesystem controls., LLMs can hallucinate reverse-engineering conclusions; verify findings against disassembly, decompiler output, xrefs, and reproducible scripts., Do not let an agent patch, rename, comment, or save IDA databases used for evidence without review and backups.

Privacy notes

Binaries, IDA databases, symbol names, strings, comments, decompiler output, and vulnerability findings may be sent to the MCP client and model., Proprietary firmware, customer crash samples, malware indicators, license keys, and embedded secrets can appear in extracted strings or decompiled code., Reports and prompts may reveal unreleased product internals or sensitive security research.
