window_arrange_restore · It2 MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What window_arrange_restore does on It2mcp

AI agents invoke window_arrange_restore to trigger actions in It2mcp. 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why window_arrange_restore needs a policy

Restoring a saved window arrangement triggers an external operation that rearranges iTerm2 windows/sessions according to a stored configuration. This is not a simple read, nor is it purely destructive or financial — it executes a state-change operation in the terminal application environment. Misuse could disrupt active terminal sessions by repositioning or reopening windows unexpectedly.
