MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous ByteBot MCP Server tools

Destructive · High bytebot_delete_task This tool irreversibly deletes data (task records and history) with no recovery mechanism. Execute · Critical bytebot_execute_workflow This tool triggers execution of potentially arbitrary multi-step workflows with automatic task creation and error recovery. Execute · Low bytebot_wait This tool executes a control flow operation (sleep/delay) that affects the timing of subsequent autonomous actions. Execute · High bytebot_click This tool executes direct desktop mouse click actions at arbitrary screen coordinates.

16 of ByteBot MCP Server's 23 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control ByteBot MCP Server

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

Deny destructive operations

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

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

Rate limit write operations

{
  "bytebot_update_task": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "bytebot_update_task_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "bytebot_cursor_position": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "bytebot_cursor_position_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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

FULL CATALOGUE

All 23 ByteBot MCP Server tools

DESTRUCTIVE 1 tools

Destructive bytebot_delete_task Delete a task by ID. This permanently removes the task and its history. Cannot be undone.

EXECUTE 13 tools

Execute bytebot_click Click at specific screen coordinates. Supports left, right, and middle mouse buttons, as well as double-clicks Execute bytebot_create_and_monitor_task Create a task and monitor its progress until completion or intervention needed. Execute bytebot_create_task Create a new task for ByteBot to execute. Returns task ID and initial status. Use this to start autonomous tas Execute bytebot_drag Drag the mouse from one position to another. Useful for moving windows, selecting text, or drag-and-drop opera Execute bytebot_execute_workflow Execute a multi-step workflow with automatic task creation, monitoring, and error recovery. Execute bytebot_intervene_in_task Provide intervention for a task in NEEDS_HELP state. Execute bytebot_move_mouse Move the mouse cursor to specific screen coordinates. Use this to position the cursor before clicking or dragg Execute bytebot_paste_text Paste text directly (without typing). Faster than type_text and works with special characters/emojis. Execute bytebot_press_keys Press keyboard keys including modifiers (Ctrl, Shift, Alt, etc.). Use this for keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+C, Execute bytebot_scroll Scroll the screen in a specific direction. Use this to navigate through content. Execute bytebot_switch_application Switch to a specific application window. Use this to bring an app to the foreground. Execute bytebot_type_text Type text string as if typing on a keyboard. Use this for entering text in forms, search boxes, etc. Execute bytebot_wait Wait for a specified duration. Use this to add delays between actions or wait for UI updates.

WRITE 2 tools

Write bytebot_update_task Update a task\ Write bytebot_write_file Write content to a file on the filesystem. Content must be base64-encoded.

READ 7 tools

Read bytebot_cursor_position Get the current mouse cursor position. Returns {x, y} coordinates. Read bytebot_get_in_progress_task Get the currently running task, if any. Returns null if no task is currently in progress. Read bytebot_get_task Get detailed information about a specific task by ID, including full message history and current status. Read bytebot_list_tasks List all tasks with optional filters. Use this to see what tasks exist and their current status. Read bytebot_monitor_task Monitor an existing task until it reaches a terminal state or timeout. Read bytebot_read_file Read a file from the filesystem. Returns base64-encoded file content. Read bytebot_screenshot Capture a screenshot of the entire screen. Returns base64-encoded PNG image data.

FAQ

Questions about ByteBot MCP Server

Can an AI agent delete data through the ByteBot MCP Server MCP server? +

Yes. The ByteBot MCP Server server exposes 1 destructive tools including bytebot_delete_task. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through ByteBot MCP Server? +

The ByteBot MCP Server server has 2 write tools including bytebot_update_task, bytebot_write_file. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach ByteBot MCP Server.

How many tools does the ByteBot MCP Server MCP server expose? +

23 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 7 are read-only. 16 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on ByteBot MCP Server? +

Register the ByteBot MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every ByteBot MCP Server tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 23 ByteBot MCP Server tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
