WHAT IT DOES

What toggle_focus_mode does on AirMCP

AI agents invoke toggle_focus_mode to trigger actions in AirMCP. 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.

RISK

Why toggle_focus_mode is rated High

This tool triggers an external system-level operation on macOS — enabling or disabling Focus/Do Not Disturb mode. It doesn't just read data or write a document; it changes OS-level notification behavior. The effect is reversible (can be toggled back), so it's not Destructive, but it does execute a system state change with real consequences (suppressing notifications). Execute is the appropriate category.
