What browser_evaluate does on AWS Labs amazon-qindex MCP Server

Why browser_evaluate needs a policy

The name 'browser_evaluate' is consistent with browser automation APIs that execute arbitrary JavaScript in a browser context, which is an Execute-category action. The description is empty, lowering confidence, but the naming convention is strongly suggestive of code execution. Misuse could allow arbitrary script execution in a browser environment, hence high severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'browser_evaluate' strongly implies executing JavaScript or code in a browser context, similar to browser automation evaluate functions (e.g., Playwright/Puppeteer page.evaluate())

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access browser_evaluate gives an agent:

How to control browser_evaluate

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

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

browser_evaluate 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 AWS Labs amazon-qindex 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.
