- Homepage: https://github.com/ra1nyxin/allcanuse-mcp

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "wait_for_window",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why wait_for_window is rated High

Wait-for-window operations are Execute category because they interact with and control system state (window management/monitoring). While not immediately destructive, they enable sequencing of other system actions and could be misused to manipulate user interactions or lock an AI into waiting indefinitely.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'wait_for_window' combined with server context describing 'AI assistants to systematically manage local systems' with 'command execution' and 'more' capabilities."

## Use case

AI agents invoke wait_for_window to trigger actions in Allcanuse. 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Allcanuse:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "wait_for_window": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "wait_for_window_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
