# desktop_commander_run_tool ${DEPRECATED} Run a Desktop Commander tool through the MCP bridge. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `desktop_commander_run_tool`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/yuga-hashimoto-localant/desktop-commander-run-tool ## Facts - Tool: `desktop_commander_run_tool` - Server: LocalAnt (`yuga-hashimoto/localant`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/yuga-hashimoto-localant.md - Homepage: https://github.com/yuga-hashimoto/localant - Risk category: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "desktop_commander_run_tool", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why desktop_commander_run_tool is rated High This tool executes Desktop Commander tools, which are external operations whose effects depend on which tool is invoked and what arguments are passed. The high severity reflects that Desktop Commander can interact with the desktop environment (shells, browsers, files), creating substantial blast radius if an AI agent misuses it. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name includes 'run_tool' and description states it 'Run[s] a Desktop Commander tool through the MCP bridge.' The term 'run' combined with server context showing shell commands, browser automation, and file management capabilities indicates execution of…" ## Use case AI agents invoke desktop_commander_run_tool to trigger actions in LocalAnt. 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
