The rule that runs click_at_coordinates safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Windows, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For click_at_coordinates, this is the rule to start with:
click_at_coordinates 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 Windows, apply this rule, and every click_at_coordinates call is checked against it from then on.
