What ui_click does on Iconnect
AI agents invoke ui_click to trigger actions in Iconnect. 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 ui_click is rated High
Clicking UI elements triggers arbitrary actions in the operating system and applications — submitting forms, pressing buttons, confirming dialogs, etc. The actual effect depends entirely on what is clicked, ranging from benign navigation to destructive or financial operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs ui_click safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Iconnect, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For ui_click, this is the rule to start with:
ui_click stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Iconnect, apply this rule, and every ui_click call is checked against it from then on.

Optionally filter by accessibility role (e.g. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Iconnect MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Iconnect MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ui_click: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Iconnect. Nothing to install.
ui_click is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ui_click rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ui_click. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
ui_click is provided by the Iconnect MCP server (iconnect-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
