WHAT IT DOES

What smart_clipboard does on AirMCP

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

RISK

Why smart_clipboard is rated Low

This tool only reads data from the system clipboard and parses it; it does not modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius is minimal: exposure of clipboard contents could leak sensitive information already copied by the user, but the tool itself performs no destructive or executable actions. Classified as Read with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Get clipboard content' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects. Automatic type detection is passive analysis.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs smart_clipboard safely

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

smart_clipboard Allowed

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

  "tools": {
    "smart_clipboard": {}
  }
}

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

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect AirMCP, apply this rule, and every smart_clipboard call is checked against it from then on.
