AI agents call disk_cleanup_analyze to retrieve information from Mcp Windows without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and analyzes disk information to identify potential cleanup candidates, but does not execute the cleanup itself. It is a read-only operation that queries disk state and presents findings. No data is modified, deleted, or system-altering operations are triggered.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'disk_cleanup_analyze' and description 'Analyze disk for cleanup opportunities' indicate a diagnostic/query operation. The verb 'analyze' combined with 'opportunities' suggests assessment without performing cleanup actions.

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

Register the Mcp Windows MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for disk_cleanup_analyze: 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 Windows. Nothing to install.
disk_cleanup_analyze 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 disk_cleanup_analyze 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 disk_cleanup_analyze. 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.
disk_cleanup_analyze is provided by the Mcp Windows MCP server (mukul975/mcp-windows-automation). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
