MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous macOS Simulator MCP Server tools

Destructive · Medium cleanup_screenshots This tool deletes files (screenshots) from the filesystem. Execute · Medium wait While the wait function itself is not destructive or immediately dangerous, it is part of an Execute category workflow. Execute · High wait_for_element While the tool itself is non-destructive and does not directly modify data, it is an Execute category tool because it actively controls the timing and sequencing of automated macOS interactions. Execute · High click Clicking UI elements triggers arbitrary external operations depending on what is clicked — submitting forms, opening applications, confirming dialogs, activating menus, etc.

11 of macOS Simulator MCP Server's 28 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control macOS Simulator MCP Server

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and macOS Simulator MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations

{
  "cleanup_screenshots": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Cap read operations

{
  "diagnostic": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "diagnostic_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
