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

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

## Why ui_click is rated High

This tool triggers real UI interactions on the user's screen by simulating mouse clicks. It can activate any on-screen control, button, menu item, or link — effects depend entirely on what is clicked. An AI agent could misuse this to confirm dialogs, trigger destructive actions, submit forms, or navigate to sensitive areas, making it a high-severity Execute-category tool.

From the tool's own definition: "'Click a UI element either by exact screen coordinates (x, y) or by searching for an element containing the given text'"

## Use case

AI agents invoke ui_click 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json

  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ui_click": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "ui_click_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
