Read (8) Write / Execute (21) Destructive / Financial (0)

Write operations (click, close_page, drag) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.

Execute tools (emulate, lighthouse_audit, navigate_page) trigger processes with side effects. Builds, notifications, workflows — all fired without throttling.

One command. Full control.

Intercept sits between your agent and Chrome Devtools. Every tool call checked against your policy before it executes — so your agent can do its job without breaking things.

npx -y @policylayer/intercept scan -- npx -y @chrome-devtools-mcp
Scans every tool. Generates a policy. Starts enforcing.

Rate limit write operations
click:
  rules:
    - rate_limit: 30/hour

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
get_console_message:
  rules:
    - rate_limit: 60/minute

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Chrome Devtools? +

The Chrome Devtools server has 13 write tools including click, close_page, drag. Set rate limits in your policy file -- for example, rate_limit: 10/hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. Intercept enforces this at the transport layer.

How many tools does the Chrome Devtools MCP server expose? +

29 tools across 3 categories: Execute, Read, Write. 8 are read-only. 21 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I add Intercept to my Chrome Devtools setup? +

One line change. Instead of running the Chrome Devtools server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c io-github-chromedevtools-chrome-devtools-mcp.yaml -- npx -y @chrome-devtools-mcp. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/io-github-chromedevtools-chrome-devtools-mcp and adjust the limits to match your use case.
