WHAT IT DOES

What cdp.input.key does on Pixi Inspector

AI agents call cdp.input.key as a supporting operation in Pixi Inspector workflows.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`key`	string	Yes	DOM key value, e.g. "Enter", "a", "ArrowLeft".
`code`	string	—	Physical key code, e.g. "Enter".
`text`	string	—	Text generated by the key (for printable keys).
`tabId`	integer	—	Legacy: a bare tab id, resolved inside the browser this session is already working with. Prefer `target`, which is unambiguous across browsers.
`target`	string	—	Drive a specific tab: a target id like "b7a3c1#487" from status/use_target/CHOOSE_TARGET. Omit to use this session's chosen tab (or the only available one). Pas
`frameId`	integer	—	Escape hatch: drive a specific FRAME of the tab (0 is the top frame). Normally unnecessary — the extension picks the frame running the game (canvas owner first,
`modifiers`	integer	—	Modifier bitmask: Alt=1, Ctrl=2, Meta=4, Shift=8.
`windowsVirtualKeyCode`	integer	—	Windows virtual key code (e.g. 13 for Enter).

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs cdp.input.key safely

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

cdp.input.key Rate-limited

cdp.input.key gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
