What click_at does on Mcp Control Plane
AI agents invoke click_at to trigger actions in Mcp Control Plane. 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.
Why click_at is rated High
This tool performs UI automation by moving the cursor and clicking at arbitrary screen coordinates. It can trigger any on-screen action — launching applications, clicking buttons, submitting forms — making it an Execute-class tool. Misuse could result in unintended system actions with wide blast radius, especially in a control plane context with access to Windows and other systems.
From the tool's definition Move to screen coordinates, click, and optionally return to the original cursor position.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs click_at safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Control Plane, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For click_at, this is the rule to start with:
click_at 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Control Plane, apply this rule, and every click_at call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about click_at
Move to screen coordinates, click, and optionally return to the original cursor position. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Mcp Control Plane MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Mcp Control Plane MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for click_at: 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 Mcp Control Plane. Nothing to install.
click_at is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the click_at 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 click_at. 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.
click_at is provided by the Mcp Control Plane MCP server (albertik322-sudo/mcp-control-plane). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
