What orgo_screenshot does on Orgo MCP Server

AI agents call orgo_screenshot to retrieve information from Orgo MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why orgo_screenshot needs a policy

orgo_screenshot retrieves visual data from the virtual machine for inspection purposes only. It has no side effects, creates no changes to data or system state, and does not execute code or delete anything. This aligns squarely with the 'Read' category (retrieves or queries data; no side effects). The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused—screenshots alone cannot harm data or system integrity.

From the tool's definition Tool description states: 'Take a screenshot of the full VM display' and 'Returns an image.' This is purely observational—it captures the current visual state without modifying, executing commands, or affecting system state.

How to control orgo_screenshot

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Orgo MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for orgo_screenshot:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "orgo_screenshot": {}
  }
}

orgo_screenshot is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Orgo MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
