Why this rating

Deterministic checks triggered by the tool capabilities and evidence.

  • Locality: Local

    Uses local Python desktop automation libraries and controls the host UI directly.

  • Data access: Sensitive

    Can capture screenshots, inspect pixels, and read clipboard content from active desktop sessions.

  • Action surface: Execute

    Performs click, drag, typing, hotkey, and window activation automation.

Best practices

Follow these steps to reduce risk when using this skill.

  • Run desktop automation in a dedicated user session when possible.
  • Require explicit approval before actions that type credentials or submit forms.
  • Keep failsafe controls enabled to abort unintended automation quickly.
