run_plan

Execute a sequential plan of tool steps server-side. Supports variables ($varName), conditions (if), saveAs, error strategies (abort/continue/capture_image), suspend/resume. Parallel tab execution via parallel: [{ tab, steps }] is a Pro-Feature - requires Pro license.

Part of the Chrome MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

@silbercue/chrome Execute Risk 3/5

AI agents invoke run_plan to trigger processes or run actions in Chrome. 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.

run_plan 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.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

  run_plan:

What does the run_plan tool do? +

Execute a sequential plan of tool steps server-side. Supports variables ($varName), conditions (if), saveAs, error strategies (abort/continue/capture_image), suspend/resume. Parallel tab execution via parallel: [{ tab, steps }] is a Pro-Feature - requires Pro license.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Chrome MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on run_plan? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for run_plan. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Chrome MCP server.

What risk level is run_plan? +

run_plan is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit run_plan? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the run_plan 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 run_plan completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for run_plan. 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 run_plan? +

run_plan 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.
