Why capture_screen needs a policy

This tool retrieves visual information (a screenshot) from the Wwise UI without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a passive observation capability analogous to 'get' or 'fetch' operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'capture_screen' and description 'Capture a screenshot of the Wwise UI' indicate retrieval of visual data from the application interface with no modification or side effects.

How to control capture_screen

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 capture_screen:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "capture_screen": {}
  }
}

capture_screen is read-only, so it stays allowed — but 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.
