## Facts

- Homepage: https://github.com/13888285815/windows-mcp
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "Clipboard",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why Clipboard is rated Low

Clipboard operations span both Read (reading clipboard contents) and Write (writing to clipboard). The description mentions 'copy, paste, cut' which includes writing to clipboard. However, the most sensitive risk here is that reading the clipboard can expose sensitive data (passwords, tokens, PII) that was previously copied, while writing can manipulate what a user pastes.

From the tool's own definition: "Copy/paste clipboard operations. Keywords: copy, paste, cut, clipboard, text transfer."

## Use case

AI agents call Clipboard to retrieve information from Windows-MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Windows-MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "Clipboard": {}
  }
}
```
