toggle_device_window

THE RISK

High Risk

This tool executes an action in an external application (Bitwig Studio) that changes the visibility state of a device window. It's not a pure read operation, nor does it write/modify data or cause destructive effects. It triggers an external UI operation whose effect depends on current state, fitting the Execute category. Severity is low as it only affects UI visibility with no data or financial risk.

From the tool's definition 'Toggle device window visibility' — triggers a UI state change in Bitwig Studio, an external application operation

HOW TO CONTROL TOGGLE_DEVICE_WINDOW

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Bitwig MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for toggle_device_window:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "toggle_device_window": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "toggle_device_window_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

toggle_device_window 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.

Create a free account and register Bitwig MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
