WHAT IT DOES

What arrange_window does on Desktop Commander MCP Server

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

RISK

Why arrange_window is rated Low

Even though arrange_window only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs arrange_window safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Desktop Commander MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For arrange_window, this is the rule to start with:

arrange_window Allowed

arrange_window is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "tools": {
    "arrange_window": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Desktop Commander MCP Server, apply this rule, and every arrange_window call is checked against it from then on.
