Why swipe_to_next_page needs a policy

This tool triggers a touch/gesture interaction on an iOS virtual machine (swipe left), which is an external operation executed on the device. It navigates between home screen pages but does not read data, write/modify data persistently, delete anything, or involve finances. The blast radius is low as it merely changes the visible home screen page.

POLICY

How to control swipe_to_next_page

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "swipe_to_next_page": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "swipe_to_next_page_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

swipe_to_next_page 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.

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