simulate_tap

Simulate a tap/click in the Solar2D simulator. Specify a bounding box using percentages and the tool taps the center. Example: a button spanning 30-50% horizontally and 60-70% vertically would use left=30, right=50, top=60, bottom=70.

What simulate_tap does on Solar2D MCP Server

AI agents invoke simulate_tap to trigger actions in Solar2D MCP Server. 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.

High Risk

Why simulate_tap needs a policy

This tool triggers external operations (simulated touch/click events) in a running Solar2D simulator. The effects depend on the arguments (coordinates) and can cause arbitrary in-simulator actions such as button presses, UI interactions, or game state changes. This qualifies as Execute since it runs simulator interactions with side effects dependent on input parameters.

How to control simulate_tap

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Solar2D MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for simulate_tap:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "simulate_tap": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "simulate_tap_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

simulate_tap stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Solar2D MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about simulate_tap

What does the simulate_tap tool do? +

Simulate a tap/click in the Solar2D simulator. Specify a bounding box using percentages and the tool taps the center. Example: a button spanning 30-50% horizontally and 60-70% vertically would use left=30, right=50, top=60, bottom=70. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Solar2D MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on simulate_tap? +

Register the Solar2D MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for simulate_tap: 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 Solar2D MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is simulate_tap? +

simulate_tap is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit simulate_tap? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the simulate_tap 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 simulate_tap completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for simulate_tap. 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 simulate_tap? +

simulate_tap is provided by the Solar2D MCP Server MCP server (sensiblecoder/solar2d-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Solar2D MCP Server tool call.

Start from Solar2D MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
