audit_screen is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call audit_screen to retrieve information from Raven without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though audit_screen only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so audit_screen only ever does what you allow.

What does the audit_screen tool do? +

Audit a rendered mobile screen (iOS or Android) from a view-hierarchy/accessibility snapshot. Call with no arguments for the expected snapshot shape and how to capture it. Pass platform:"android" to score against the 48dp Material touch minimum and Material muted roles (onSurfaceVariant/outline = warn not fail); default platform:"ios" scores 44pt and treats secondaryLabel/tertiaryLabel as platform-standard. Both score touch targets, contrast, and visual rhythm (alignment, gap consistency, optical balance). Same return shape as audit_page.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Raven MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on audit_screen? +

Register the Raven MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for audit_screen: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Raven. Nothing to install.

What risk level is audit_screen? +

audit_screen is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit audit_screen? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the audit_screen rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block audit_screen completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for audit_screen. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides audit_screen? +

audit_screen is provided by the Raven MCP server (raven-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Raven tool call.
