scroll · AutoProbe MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What scroll does on AutoProbeMCP

AI agents use scroll to create or update resources in AutoProbeMCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AutoProbeMCP environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why scroll needs a policy

An AI agent can call scroll faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in AutoProbeMCP by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Verdict

scroll Rate-limited

scroll stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: every tool call is checked against your rule before it reaches AutoProbeMCP, so you can run agents against it safely.

FAQ

Questions about scroll

What does the scroll tool do? +

Scroll the page in the specified direction. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AutoProbeMCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on scroll? +

Register the AutoProbe MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for scroll: 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 AutoProbeMCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is scroll? +

scroll is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit scroll? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the scroll 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.

How do I block scroll completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for scroll. 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.

What MCP server provides scroll? +

scroll is provided by the AutoProbe MCP server (wladastic/autoprobemcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
