Exposed MCP Tools (9)

safe

lldb_start

Starts a new LLDB debugging session.

Initializes a debugging environment; no immediate side effects.

safe

lldb_load

Loads a program into LLDB for debugging.

Loads a program for analysis, but doesn't execute it.

high

lldb_run

Runs the loaded program within the LLDB environment.

Executes the program, potentially triggering unintended or malicious behavior.

moderate

lldb_set_breakpoint

Sets a breakpoint at a specified location in the code.

Modifies program execution flow, but doesn't directly alter data.

safe

lldb_print

Prints the value of a specified expression.

Read-only operation; retrieves and displays data.

safe

lldb_examine

Examines memory at a given address.

Read-only operation; retrieves and displays memory contents.

critical

lldb_command

Executes an arbitrary LLDB command.

Allows unrestricted access to LLDB functionality, including potentially dangerous operations.

high

lldb_kill

Kills the running process being debugged.

Terminates the process, potentially leading to data loss or system instability.

critical

lldb_attach

Attaches LLDB to a running process.

Allows inspection and control of a running process, potentially leading to unintended consequences.

Safety Assessment

LLDB-MCP offers powerful debugging capabilities but poses significant risks due to its ability to execute code and interact with running processes. It's relatively safe when used for read-only inspection of core dumps or static analysis. It becomes risky when attaching to live processes or modifying program state without proper safeguards.

Requires explicit commands to perform actions.
Provides a range of debugging commands for controlled execution.
Sessions are automatically cleaned up when the server shuts down.
Offers a dry-run mode for certain commands (unconfirmed, inferred from debugging tips).

Allows arbitrary code execution through LLDB.
Can potentially modify system state via debugging actions.
No explicit sandboxing is mentioned.
Attaching to running processes carries inherent risks.
Vulnerable to command injection if input isn't sanitized.
