Take a higher-resolution screenshot of a specific region of the last full-screen screenshot.
AI agents call zoom to retrieve information from Computer Use MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only reads/captures visual data from the screen. It performs no writes, executes no commands, and has no side effects — it simply returns pixel data from a screen region. The only risk is information disclosure if sensitive content is on screen.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Take a higher-resolution screenshot of a specific region of the last full-screen screenshot. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Computer Use MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Computer Use MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for zoom: 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 Computer Use MCP Server. Nothing to install.
zoom is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the zoom 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for zoom. 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.
zoom is provided by the Computer Use MCP Server MCP server (syedazharmbnr1/computer-use-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
