Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Assay Rul1an Security	Jadx AI MCP zinja-coder Security
Summary	Policy-as-code gate for MCP. A fail-closed proxy that denies risky tool calls before they run, produces offline-verifiable evidence bundles of what executed, and enforces IPv4/TCP egress in-kernel via eBPF/LSM and Landlock on Linux. Deterministic and offline-first.	JADX-AI-MCP is a plugin and MCP Server for the JADX decompiler that integrates directly with Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide live reverse engineering support with LLMs like Claude.
