WHAT IT DOES

What wavexis_activate_tab does on Wavexis

AI agents invoke wavexis_activate_tab to trigger actions in Wavexis. 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.

RISK

Why wavexis_activate_tab is rated High

Activating/focusing a browser tab is a browser action that triggers an external operation (changing the active tab in the browser), which falls under Execute. It has side effects on the browser state. Misuse could lead to unintended navigation or context switching, but blast radius is limited.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs wavexis_activate_tab safely

wavexis_activate_tab Rate-limited

wavexis_activate_tab 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.
