WHAT IT DOES

What maximize_window does on Mcp Control Plane

AI agents invoke maximize_window 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.

RISK

Why maximize_window is rated High

This tool performs a UI/window management action on the operating system — it triggers an external operation (maximizing a window) that affects the running desktop environment. While not destructive or financial, it executes a system-level action rather than merely reading data or writing a file, placing it in the Execute category. Misuse could disrupt a user's session or expose sensitive windows.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs maximize_window 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 maximize_window, this is the rule to start with:

maximize_window Rate-limited

maximize_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.

How do I enforce a policy on maximize_window? +

Register the Mcp Control Plane MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for maximize_window: 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.

What risk level is maximize_window? +

maximize_window is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit maximize_window? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the maximize_window 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.

How do I block maximize_window completely? +
