WHAT IT DOES

What reposition_window does on Mcp Control Plane

AI agents invoke reposition_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 reposition_window is rated High

This tool triggers an external operation on the desktop environment by repositioning a window. It causes a side effect (changing window position) that goes beyond a read, though it's not destructive or financial. It falls under Execute as it manipulates the state of a running GUI environment.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

reposition_window Rate-limited

reposition_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.
