What bring_to_foreground does on SK Wwise MCP

AI agents invoke bring_to_foreground to trigger actions in SK Wwise MCP. 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 bring_to_foreground needs a policy

This tool triggers an external operation on the Wwise application UI — bringing a window to the foreground is an OS-level action that affects the running application's state. It doesn't read, write, or delete data, but it does execute an external operation. The blast radius is very low as it only changes window focus.

How to control bring_to_foreground

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

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

bring_to_foreground 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 SK Wwise MCP — 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.
