WHAT IT DOES

What is_enabled does on Playwright MCP Server

AI agents call is_enabled to retrieve information from Playwright MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why is_enabled is rated Low

The tool name indicates a state-checking operation with no side effects. Given the broader Playwright server context of browser automation, this likely queries element properties. Without a description, confidence is moderate, but the naming pattern and Read-category sibling tools (clear_* operations aside, many are DOM inspection) support Read classification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'is_enabled' suggests a query operation checking state (enabled/disabled status), consistent with Playwright's element inspection capabilities. No description provided.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs is_enabled safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Playwright MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For is_enabled, this is the rule to start with:

is_enabled Allowed

is_enabled is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "is_enabled": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Playwright MCP Server, apply this rule, and every is_enabled call is checked against it from then on.
