How to control AHK_Lint ↓

AI agents call AHK_Lint 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.

Low Risk

The AHK_Lint tool analyzes and checks AutoHotkey scripts for issues without modifying them by default. While it mentions 'autoFix' capability, the explicit support for 'dryRun preview' indicates non-destructive behavior—it shows changes without applying them. This is a static analysis and linting tool that retrieves information about code quality/issues, making it a Read operation.

From the tool's definition Lint AHK v2 scripts. Levels: fast (syntax), standard (default, +structure), thorough (+semantics). Supports autoFix with dryRun preview.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access AHK_Lint 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_Lint:

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

AHK_Lint 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 Ahk — 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.

What does the AHK_Lint tool do? +

Lint AHK v2 scripts. Levels: fast (syntax), standard (default, +structure), thorough (+semantics). Supports autoFix with dryRun preview. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ahk MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on AHK_Lint? +

Register the Ahk MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for AHK_Lint: 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.

What risk level is AHK_Lint? +

AHK_Lint is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit AHK_Lint? +

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

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

AHK_Lint 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.

Enforce policy on every Ahk tool call.
