WHAT IT DOES

What agents does on iTerm MCP

AI agents call agents as a supporting operation in iTerm MCP workflows.

RISK

Why agents is rated Low

The description is empty and uninformative, making it impossible to determine what this tool does with confidence. The name 'agents' in the context of an iTerm MCP server with AI orchestration capabilities could relate to managing AI agents, but without evidence of specific actions (read, write, execute, etc.), classification defaults to Other. Confidence is low due to lack of description.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'agents' with an empty description. No functional details are available.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs agents safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and iTerm MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For agents, this is the rule to start with:

agents Rate-limited

agents gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "agents": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "agents_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
