What chrome_execute_script does on Chrome Feedback
AI agents invoke chrome_execute_script to trigger actions in Chrome Feedback. 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.
Why chrome_execute_script is rated High
Executing JavaScript in a webpage context permits arbitrary DOM manipulation, data exfiltration, XSS-like injection, and interaction with page APIs. While not inherently destructive (no guarantee of permanent data loss) or financial, the capability to run code whose effects depend entirely on what script is supplied makes this an Execute-category risk.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Execute JavaScript code in the current page' — this directly runs code with arbitrary effects determined by the arguments passed.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs chrome_execute_script safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Chrome Feedback, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For chrome_execute_script, this is the rule to start with:
chrome_execute_script stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Chrome Feedback, apply this rule, and every chrome_execute_script call is checked against it from then on.
