WHAT IT DOES

What page_press_key does on Jshookmcp

AI agents invoke page_press_key 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.

RISK

Why page_press_key is rated High

Triggers browser/UI key press actions that affect external application state.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs page_press_key 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 page_press_key, this is the rule to start with:

page_press_key Rate-limited

page_press_key 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.

      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "page_press_key_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Jshookmcp, apply this rule, and every page_press_key call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Jshook MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for page_press_key: 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.

What risk level is page_press_key? +
