AI agents invoke screen_record_stop to trigger processes or run actions in Scrcpy. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

screen_record_stop can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so screen_record_stop only ever does what you allow.

What does the screen_record_stop tool do? +

Stop screen recording and optionally pull the file to the host.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Scrcpy MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on screen_record_stop? +

Register the Scrcpy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for screen_record_stop: 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 Scrcpy. Nothing to install.

What risk level is screen_record_stop? +

screen_record_stop is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit screen_record_stop? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the screen_record_stop 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.

How do I block screen_record_stop completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for screen_record_stop. 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.

What MCP server provides screen_record_stop? +

screen_record_stop is provided by the Scrcpy MCP server (scrcpy-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Scrcpy tool call.
