Ahk recent scripts List the most recent AutoHotkey scripts from configured directories. Supports overriding A_ScriptDir.
AI agents call AHK_File_Recent to retrieve information from Ahk without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and enumerates existing AutoHotkey script files from directories without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a simple listing/discovery operation typical of Read category tools. The ability to override a directory path does not elevate the risk—it remains informational retrieval.
From the tool's definition "List the most recent AutoHotkey scripts from configured directories." The verb "list" and the action of retrieving/querying recent scripts indicates a read-only operation with no data modification or execution.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access AHK_File_Recent gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ahk, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for AHK_File_Recent:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"AHK_File_Recent": {}
}
}AHK_File_Recent is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Ahk recent scripts List the most recent AutoHotkey scripts from configured directories. Supports overriding A_ScriptDir. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ahk MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ahk MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for AHK_File_Recent: 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 Ahk. Nothing to install.
AHK_File_Recent 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 AHK_File_Recent 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 AHK_File_Recent. 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.
AHK_File_Recent is provided by the Ahk MCP server (truecrimedev/ahk-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
