THE RISK

High Risk

Why browser_navigate_back needs a policy

Browser navigation actions constitute Execute-class operations because they trigger external effects (browser state changes, page loads, potential side effects from navigation). Without a description, confidence is reduced, but the name itself is explicit enough to classify with reasonable confidence.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'browser_navigate_back' indicates browser automation action. Description is empty, limiting direct evidence, but the name clearly denotes triggering a browser navigation operation.

POLICY

How to control browser_navigate_back

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "browser_navigate_back": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "browser_navigate_back_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

browser_navigate_back 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.

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

Can I rate-limit browser_navigate_back? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the browser_navigate_back rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block browser_navigate_back completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for browser_navigate_back. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides browser_navigate_back? +

browser_navigate_back is provided by the AWS ElastiCache MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.elasticache-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every AWS ElastiCache MCP Server tool call.

Start from AWS ElastiCache MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
