WHAT IT DOES

What scrape_multiple does on CoWork OS

AI agents call scrape_multiple to retrieve information from CoWork OS without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why scrape_multiple is rated Low

The tool fetches and extracts content from multiple web URLs — a read/retrieval operation with no explicit write or destructive side effects. Severity is medium because batch scraping can exfiltrate large amounts of data at scale, hit rate limits, or access sensitive pages, but it does not modify or delete any data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs scrape_multiple 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 scrape_multiple, this is the rule to start with:

scrape_multiple Allowed

scrape_multiple is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "scrape_multiple": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CoWork OS, apply this rule, and every scrape_multiple call is checked against it from then on.
