# inject_screenwatch Start screen watch (inject mode) Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `inject_screenwatch`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp/inject-screenwatch ## Facts - Tool: `inject_screenwatch` - Server: Cobalt Strike MCP Server (`mickeydb/cobalt-strike-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/mickeydb-cobalt-strike-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/MickeyDB/Cobalt-Strike-MCP - Risk category: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "inject_screenwatch", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why inject_screenwatch is rated High Screen watching via injection is an Execute action—it triggers an external operation (screen capture and monitoring) whose effects depend on the target process and system state. While it doesn't directly modify data, it performs active monitoring/surveillance through code injection. From the tool's own definition: "'Start screen watch (inject mode)' enables execution of screen capture functionality via injection, which constitutes code/operation execution with external side effects. The inject mode indicates direct process manipulation." ## Use case AI agents invoke inject_screenwatch to trigger actions in Cobalt Strike MCP Server. 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
