domshell_each can trigger actions in DOMShell, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke domshell_each to trigger processes or run actions in DOMShell. 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.

domshell_each can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer 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.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so domshell_each only ever does what you allow.

What does the domshell_each tool do? +

Run a command across multiple open tabs. Iterates over all non-chrome tabs (optionally filtered by title/URL pattern), switches into each, runs the command, and collects results. Restores the original tab when done.\n\nOptions:\n --pattern FILTER Only tabs whose title or URL contains FILTER\n --limit N Process at most N matching tabs\n\nExamples:\n each eval document.title Title from every tab\n each --pattern wiki eval document.title Only Wikipedia tabs\n each --pattern wiki --limit 3 eval document.title First 3 Wikipedia tabs. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the DOMShell MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on domshell_each? +

Register the DOMShell MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for domshell_each: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches DOMShell. Nothing to install.

What risk level is domshell_each? +

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

Can I rate-limit domshell_each? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the domshell_each rule in your PolicyLayer 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 domshell_each completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for domshell_each. 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 domshell_each? +

domshell_each is provided by the DOMShell MCP server (@apireno/domshell). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every DOMShell tool call.
