Naina, I'd see any attempt to by one application to monitor the calls made by another application outside of a debug environment as a security concern because those calls may contain sensitive information which I only want the specified application to use (e.g. passwords for accounts which get passed through as a data block to the http libraries to be sent over an SSL connection).
My guess is you're trying to write one of three types of app; Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, or reverse engineering tool. The first two I believe should be handled by the platforms existing mechanisms (app sandboxing and maintaining an app blacklist), and I don't think anyone is going to do anything to accommodate the third. But that's just my view... Al.
