What get_window_geometry does on PyMCPAutoGUI

AI agents call get_window_geometry 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.

Why get_window_geometry needs a policy

This tool retrieves geometric information (likely width, height, x/y coordinates) about a window without modifying any state. It has no side effects and serves only to query existing data. The absence of a description is offset by the clear naming convention and the server context where similar 'get_' operations are read-only.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_window_geometry' indicates it retrieves window dimensions/position data. No description provided, but the sibling tools and server context show this is a GUI automation server where 'get_*' and similar query operations are non-mutating.

How to control get_window_geometry

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_window_geometry:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_window_geometry": {}
  }
}

get_window_geometry is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register PyMCPAutoGUI — 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.
