new_page
Open a new page
Part of the Chrome DevTools MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL
AI agents invoke new_page to trigger processes or run actions in Chrome DevTools. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call — triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON NEW_PAGE
new_page can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
RECOMMENDED POLICY
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does the new_page tool do?
Open a new page. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Chrome DevTools MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
How do I enforce a policy on new_page?
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for new_page. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Chrome DevTools MCP server.
What risk level is new_page?
new_page is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Can I rate-limit new_page?
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the new_page rule in your Intercept 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 new_page completely?
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for new_page. 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 new_page?
new_page is provided by the Chrome DevTools MCP server (ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
