What electron_attach does on Jshookmcp
AI agents invoke electron_attach to trigger actions in Jshookmcp. 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 electron_attach is rated High
Attaching to Chrome DevTools Protocol enables arbitrary code execution in Electron apps.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs electron_attach safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Jshookmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For electron_attach, this is the rule to start with:
electron_attach 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 Jshookmcp, apply this rule, and every electron_attach call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about electron_attach
Attach to an Electron CDP port and optionally evaluate in a matching page. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Jshookmcp MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Jshook MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for electron_attach: 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 Jshookmcp. Nothing to install.
electron_attach 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 electron_attach 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 electron_attach. 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.
electron_attach is provided by the Jshook MCP server (@jshookmcp/jshook). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
