Bypassing Prohance

So my employer uses prohance to monitor “productivity”. It is really frustrating when I’m working from home or on the days when work is less. And the company wants every employee to maintain 8 productive hours but prohance doesn't count time away from system as productive. To counter this I created a python script which moves the cursor every few seconds and also simulates a key press. I have been using this successfully for the past couple of weeks. But recently I got to know that prohance keeps a log of every application you open, every person you talk to on MS teams, even chatgpt urls which shows the question you have asked.

But recently I got to know that prohance keeps a log of every application you open, every person you talk to on MS teams, even chatgpt urls which shows the question you have asked. And also it shows that I open CMD prompt frequently and also the command I run in it (python script.py). I'm afraid if someone sees the prohance log I will be in a lot of trouble not that I'm slacking off (I'm delivering everything on time) but due the use of this script.

My job does not require me to open cmd or even use python. I don't want to get a mouse jiggler as it wont be possible to use it in office.
Any ideas on how to counter this are appreciated.
