WHAT IT DOES

What wavexis_key_press does on Wavexis

AI agents invoke wavexis_key_press 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_key_press is rated High

Pressing keyboard keys triggers browser actions whose effects depend entirely on the current context and arguments. A key press could submit forms, trigger shortcuts, delete content, navigate pages, or execute commands. This is a browser action/execution with potentially wide-ranging side effects, making Execute the appropriate category with high severity due to the unpredictable blast radius.

From the tool's definition "Press a keyboard key" — simulates keyboard input in a browser automation context

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs wavexis_key_press 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_key_press, this is the rule to start with:

wavexis_key_press Rate-limited

wavexis_key_press 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.
