What hwp_switch_window does on HWP MCP Server

AI agents invoke hwp_switch_window to trigger actions in HWP MCP Server. 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.

High Risk

Why hwp_switch_window needs a policy

This tool switches focus/control to a different HWP window using a window handle. It triggers an external UI/application operation rather than simply reading data or writing document content. The blast radius is low since it only changes which window is active, with no data modification or deletion.

From the tool's definition "다른 HWP 창으로 전환합니다" (Switch to another HWP window) — triggers an external operation on the HWP application window using a window handle

How to control hwp_switch_window

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and HWP MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for hwp_switch_window:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "hwp_switch_window": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "hwp_switch_window_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

hwp_switch_window 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.

  1. Create a free account and register HWP MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
