What wavexis_hover does on Wavexis
AI agents invoke wavexis_hover 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.
Why wavexis_hover is rated High
This tool triggers a browser action (hovering over a DOM element), which is an external operation that can cause side effects such as triggering JavaScript event handlers, revealing hidden menus, or initiating network requests. It is not a simple read operation, nor is it destructive or financial, making Execute the most appropriate category.

The rule that runs wavexis_hover safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Wavexis, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For wavexis_hover, this is the rule to start with:
wavexis_hover 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Wavexis, apply this rule, and every wavexis_hover call is checked against it from then on.
