What chrome_fill_input does on Chrome Feedback
AI agents invoke chrome_fill_input 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_fill_input is rated High
Filling an input field is a browser action that modifies the state of a web page element and can trigger form validation, event listeners, or autofill behaviors. It falls under Execute as it interacts with external browser operations whose effects depend on what field is targeted and what content is entered. It spans Write but Execute is more appropriate given it's a browser automation action.

chrome_fill_input 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_fill_input call is checked against it from then on.
