ira_scroll · IRA-RESEARCHER MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What ira_scroll does on IRA-RESEARCHER

AI agents invoke ira_scroll to trigger actions in IRA-RESEARCHER. 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why ira_scroll needs a policy

Scrolling is a browser action that affects the state of the page (viewport position, lazy-loaded content, infinite scroll triggers). It is part of browser automation and can trigger side effects like loading new content, but has minimal blast radius on its own. Categorized as Execute due to it being a browser interaction rather than a pure read.

From the tool's definition 'Scroll the page' — triggers a browser action that manipulates the viewport/DOM state
