WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why execute_tauri_command needs a policy

This tool triggers external operations (Tauri IPC commands) whose effects are application-dependent and not reversible in all cases. While constrained to exposed commands, it remains a general execution mechanism with high blast radius if an AI agent exploits available IPC endpoints to modify application state, trigger side effects, or access sensitive functionality.

From the tool's definition The tool name 'execute_tauri_command' combined with the description stating it 'Execute[s] a Tauri IPC command' directly indicates code/command execution.
