WHAT IT DOES

What protect_ptz_move does on UniFi Access MCP

AI agents invoke protect_ptz_move to trigger actions in UniFi Access MCP. 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 protect_ptz_move is rated High

PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) refers to camera control operations that physically move a camera. This would be an Execute category action as it triggers an external physical operation. However, the description is empty, so confidence is low. The tool appears to belong to UniFi Protect (camera system) rather than UniFi Access, which is unusual for this server context, further reducing confidence.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'protect_ptz_move' suggests controlling PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera movement, which is an external physical operation. Description is empty and uninformative.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs protect_ptz_move safely

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

protect_ptz_move Rate-limited

protect_ptz_move 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.
