MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous MCP Macaco Playwright tools

Execute · Medium browser_element_focus This tool triggers browser actions (focus/blur events) on DOM elements, which can cause side effects such as triggering form validation, event handlers, or keyboard navigation flows. Execute · High browser_http_request This tool can execute arbitrary HTTP requests including state-mutating methods (POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH) to any URL with custom headers and body. Execute · High browser_navigate_action Navigation actions in Playwright change browser state and load external resources—this is execution of external operations, not mere data retrieval (Read) or reversible creation (Write). Execute · High browser_navigate_url Navigation is an Execute action because it causes the browser to perform an operation (HTTP request, page load) whose side effects depend on the supplied URL.

23 of MCP Macaco Playwright's 36 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control MCP Macaco Playwright

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Macaco Playwright, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "browser_close": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "browser_close_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "browser_console_messages": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "browser_console_messages_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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