ui_uncheck · UI Bridge MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What ui_uncheck does on UI Bridge MCP

AI agents invoke ui_uncheck to trigger actions in UI Bridge 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why ui_uncheck needs a policy

Unchecking a checkbox is a UI action that modifies the state of an interface element. It falls under Execute because it performs an external UI operation (similar to a click/browser action) whose effect depends on which checkbox is targeted. It's reversible (can be re-checked), so not Destructive, but it's more than a passive read — it actively manipulates UI state.

From the tool's definition 'Uncheck a checkbox element in the runner' — triggers a UI interaction (unchecking a checkbox) on an external or local UI element
