WHAT IT DOES

What drag_and_drop does on Mcp Windows

AI agents invoke drag_and_drop to trigger actions in Mcp Windows. 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 drag_and_drop is rated High

This tool performs a UI interaction (drag-and-drop) that triggers external operations on the Windows system. The effect depends on the arguments (source and destination coordinates), making it Execute. Misuse could rearrange files, move UI elements, or trigger unintended actions depending on what is under the coordinates.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

drag_and_drop Rate-limited

drag_and_drop 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.

    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Windows, apply this rule, and every drag_and_drop call is checked against it from then on.
