Drag an element via native CDP mouse events (mousePressed → interpolated mouseMoved with buttons:1 → mouseReleased).

Part of the Chrome MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents use drag to create or modify resources in Chrome. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call drag repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Chrome.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Drag an element via native CDP mouse events (mousePressed → interpolated mouseMoved with buttons:1 → mouseReleased). Works for CSS-driven drag: slider thumbs, resize handles, text selection, mouse-based reorder lists (e.g. SortableJS in mouse mode). NOT suitable for HTML5 Drag&Drop API (draggable=true elements with dragstart/drop listeners, React DnD HTML5Backend, Vuedraggable, ng2-dnd) — that path needs Input.dispatchDragEvent which this tool does not implement. Parameters: from_ref/from_selector OR from_x+from_y as source, to_ref/to_selector OR to_x+to_y as target. `steps` (default 10, min 5) controls mouseMoved granularity.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Chrome MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for drag. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Chrome MCP server.
drag is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the drag 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for drag. 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.
drag is provided by the Chrome MCP server (@silbercue/chrome). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
