- Homepage: https://github.com/mukul975/mcp-windows-automation

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

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

## Why system_file_checker is rated High

This tool executes an external system command (SFC.exe) whose behavior depends on system state and arguments. While SFC can repair files (modifying system state), the primary action is executing a diagnostic/repair operation on Windows system files.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'system_file_checker' and description 'Run System File Checker (SFC scan)' indicates execution of the Windows SFC utility, which scans and can repair system files."

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case

AI agents invoke system_file_checker 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "system_file_checker": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "system_file_checker_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
