Why browser_close needs a policy

The name 'browser_close' implies terminating a browser process or session, which is an external execution-side effect. However, the description is completely empty, so the exact behavior is unknown. Closing a browser could disrupt active sessions or workflows, warranting a high severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'browser_close' suggests closing a browser instance — an external operation. Description is empty and uninformative, lowering confidence.

How to control browser_close

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Amazon Location Service MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for browser_close:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "browser_close": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "browser_close_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

browser_close 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Amazon Location Service MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
