## Facts

- Tool: `Scroll`
- Server: Windows-MCP (`13888285815/windows-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/13888285815-windows-mcp.md

- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

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

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

## Why Scroll is rated High

Scrolling is a UI automation action that simulates user input on the Windows OS. While scrolling itself has limited direct harm, it can trigger side effects depending on what UI element is targeted (e.g., scrolling through menus, triggering lazy-loaded content, or interacting with sensitive UI). It falls under Execute as it triggers external operations (OS-level UI interaction) whose effects depend on arguments.

From the tool's own definition: "'Scrolls at coordinates [x, y], a UI element' — triggers a UI interaction (simulated user input) at specific screen coordinates"

## Use case

AI agents invoke Scroll to trigger actions in Windows-MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "Scroll": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "scroll_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
