WHAT IT DOES

What selection_all does on Mcp Anything

AI agents use selection_all to create or update resources in Mcp Anything, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Anything environment.

RISK

Why selection_all is rated Medium

Selecting the entire image modifies the active selection state in the image editor, which is a reversible state change (Write). It does not delete, execute code, or move money. The blast radius is low since selection changes can be easily undone.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs selection_all safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Anything, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For selection_all, this is the rule to start with:

selection_all Rate-limited

selection_all stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
