ira_type · IRA-RESEARCHER MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What ira_type does on IRA-RESEARCHER

AI agents invoke ira_type 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_type needs a policy

Typing into input fields is a browser automation action that can cause downstream effects depending on context (login forms, search boxes, payment fields, etc.). It is an Execute-category action as it directly manipulates browser state and can trigger events, form validation, or submissions.

From the tool's definition 'Type text into an input field' — this triggers a browser action that inputs data into web forms, which can have side effects depending on the target field (e.g., submitting credentials, filling out forms, triggering search queries).

Verdict

ira_type Rate-limited

ira_type 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.
