Check if clipboard contains a specific format.
AI agents call clipboard_has_format to retrieve information from OODA Computer Control without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only reads and checks the presence of a data format in the clipboard. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not delete or move data. It is a passive information retrieval operation, consistent with the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'clipboard_has_format' and description 'Check if clipboard contains a specific format' indicates a query/inspection operation that retrieves clipboard state without modification or execution.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OODA Computer Control, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for clipboard_has_format:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"clipboard_has_format": {}
}
}clipboard_has_format is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Check if clipboard contains a specific format. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OODA Computer Control MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the OODA Computer Control MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for clipboard_has_format: 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 OODA Computer Control. Nothing to install.
clipboard_has_format is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the clipboard_has_format 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 clipboard_has_format. 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.
clipboard_has_format is provided by the OODA Computer Control MCP server (mnehmos/mnehmos.ooda.mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from OODA Computer Control, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
