- Homepage: https://github.com/mukul975/mcp-windows-automation
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_user_preferences",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why list_user_preferences is rated Low

This tool retrieves user preference data without side effects. The verb 'list' is explicitly a Read operation—it queries and returns information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. Even though the server provides broad system control, this specific tool is limited to data retrieval, making it the lowest-risk category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_user_preferences' and description 'List all user preferences' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or destructive capability."

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents call list_user_preferences to retrieve information from Mcp Windows without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Mcp Windows:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_user_preferences": {}
  }
}
```
