WHAT IT DOES

What browser_mouse_wheel does on AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server

AI agents invoke browser_mouse_wheel to trigger actions in AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server. 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why browser_mouse_wheel needs a policy

The tool name implies a browser automation action (mouse wheel scroll), which falls under Execute category as it triggers external browser operations. However, the description is empty, which significantly lowers confidence. The tool name alone suggests executing a browser UI interaction. The presence of this tool on an AWS IoT SiteWise MCP server is unusual, further reducing confidence.
