WHAT IT DOES

What browser_act_batch does on CoWork OS

AI agents invoke browser_act_batch to trigger actions in CoWork OS. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why browser_act_batch is rated High

This tool executes browser automation commands whose effects depend entirely on the arguments—it could be used to perform financial transactions, submit unauthorized forms, exfiltrate data, or interact with web applications in unintended ways.

From the tool's definition Tool description states "Execute a batch of browser actions in sequence" and mentions triggering interactions like "fill form, click submit, wait for result".

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs browser_act_batch safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CoWork OS, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For browser_act_batch, this is the rule to start with:

browser_act_batch Rate-limited

browser_act_batch 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.
