What start_profiler_capture does on SK Wwise MCP

AI agents invoke start_profiler_capture 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 start_profiler_capture needs a policy

This tool triggers an external operation (profiling) within the Wwise audio engine, which is a runtime side effect that cannot be undone by simply calling another tool—profiling data collection has started and will continue until stopped. While not destructive or financial, it modifies the runtime state of the Wwise application.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'start_profiler_capture' and description 'Start profiler capture' indicate an action that initiates an external operation (profiler capture) whose effects depend on the Wwise project state and subsequent actions.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access start_profiler_capture gives an agent:

How to control start_profiler_capture

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 start_profiler_capture:

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

start_profiler_capture 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.

Questions about start_profiler_capture

What does the start_profiler_capture tool do? +

Start profiler capture and return the capture start time. No arguments required. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the SK Wwise MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on start_profiler_capture? +

Register the SK Wwise MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for start_profiler_capture: 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 SK Wwise MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is start_profiler_capture? +

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

Can I rate-limit start_profiler_capture? +

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

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

start_profiler_capture is provided by the SK Wwise MCP server (silver-rain-dev/sk-wwise-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every SK Wwise MCP tool call.

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