What wavexis_perf_profile does on Wavexis
AI agents invoke wavexis_perf_profile 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_perf_profile is rated High
Capturing a CPU profile requires starting and stopping a profiling session in the browser runtime, which is an active execution operation with side effects (resource consumption, potential performance impact). It doesn't merely read existing data — it triggers a live profiling run. No data is permanently deleted or financial actions taken, so Execute is the most appropriate category.
From the tool's definition "Capture a CPU profile" — initiates active CPU profiling, triggering a runtime monitoring operation in the browser.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs wavexis_perf_profile 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_perf_profile, this is the rule to start with:
wavexis_perf_profile 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_perf_profile call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about wavexis_perf_profile
Capture a CPU profile. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Wavexis MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Wavexis MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for wavexis_perf_profile: 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 Wavexis. Nothing to install.
wavexis_perf_profile is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the wavexis_perf_profile 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for wavexis_perf_profile. 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.
wavexis_perf_profile is provided by the Wavexis MCP server (MathiasPaulenko/wavexis-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
