WHAT IT DOES

What window_type does on Omarchy-MCP

AI agents invoke window_type to trigger actions in Omarchy-MCP. 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.

RISK

Why window_type is rated High

Sends arbitrary keystrokes to any window, enabling command execution or data injection.

From the tool's definition type via wtype... presses Return afterwards

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs window_type safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Omarchy-MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For window_type, this is the rule to start with:

window_type Rate-limited

window_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.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Omarchy-MCP, apply this rule, and every window_type call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about window_type

What does the window_type tool do? +

One-shot text input to ANY window: resolve target (match/address), focus it with measured verification, then type via wtype. Defaults to the currently focused window if no target given. submit=true presses Return afterwards. Example: window_type(match=. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Omarchy-MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on window_type? +

Register the Omarchy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for window_type: 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 Omarchy-MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is window_type? +

window_type is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit window_type? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the window_type 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.

How do I block window_type completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for window_type. 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.

What MCP server provides window_type? +

window_type is provided by the Omarchy MCP server (hlsitechio/Omarchy-MCP). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
