AI agents call get_all_titles to retrieve information from PyMCPAutoGUI without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries the system state (open window titles) without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is purely informational and poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it cannot alter system state or trigger external operations. The low severity reflects the limited blast radius of this capability.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Gets a list of titles of all currently open windows' - a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'gets' and action of listing window titles are characteristic of Read category tools.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_all_titles gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and PyMCPAutoGUI, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_all_titles:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_all_titles": {}
}
}get_all_titles is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Gets a list of titles of all currently open windows. It is categorised as a Read tool in the PyMCPAutoGUI MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the PyMCPAutoGUI MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_all_titles: 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 PyMCPAutoGUI. Nothing to install.
get_all_titles is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_all_titles 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 get_all_titles. 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.
get_all_titles is provided by the PyMCPAutoGUI MCP server (kitfactory/pymcpautogui). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from PyMCPAutoGUI, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
