Load hotkey config from a file.
AI agents call cond_load_hotkeys to retrieve information from TermPipe MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves hotkey configuration from storage. It performs a read operation with no side effects—no creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact. The 'load' operation is inherently non-destructive and non-executable. While the server overall provides terminal access (Execute-category capability), this specific tool is narrowly scoped to reading configuration files.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'cond_load_hotkeys' and description 'Load hotkey config from a file' indicate reading/loading configuration data from a file system resource without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Load hotkey config from a file. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TermPipe MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the TermPipe MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cond_load_hotkeys: 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 TermPipe MCP. Nothing to install.
cond_load_hotkeys is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the cond_load_hotkeys 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 cond_load_hotkeys. 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.
cond_load_hotkeys is provided by the TermPipe MCP server (wbind-core/termpipe-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
cond_load_hotkeys is one line of TermPipe's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
