Send mouse events to a terminal using SGR mouse protocol. This tool provides direct control over mouse events following the terminal
AI agents invoke mcpretentious-mouse to trigger actions in MCPretentious. 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.
This tool sends mouse input to a live terminal session, triggering arbitrary UI interactions and potentially executing commands or clicking UI elements. It is part of a terminal control server that enables AI to manage terminal sessions, making misuse potentially high-impact as mouse events can trigger any terminal or application action.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access mcpretentious-mouse gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCPretentious, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for mcpretentious-mouse:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"mcpretentious-mouse": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "mcpretentious-mouse_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}mcpretentious-mouse 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.

Send mouse events to a terminal using SGR mouse protocol. This tool provides direct control over mouse events following the terminal. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the MCPretentious MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the MCPretentious MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mcpretentious-mouse: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches MCPretentious. Nothing to install.
mcpretentious-mouse is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the mcpretentious-mouse rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for mcpretentious-mouse. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
mcpretentious-mouse is provided by the MCPretentious MCP server (oetiker/mcpretentious). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from MCPretentious, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
