domshell_js 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_js 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_js 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_js only ever does what you allow.

What does the domshell_js tool do? +

Execute arbitrary JavaScript in the current tab and return the result. Use this for complex DOM queries, CSS selector extraction, or any operation that would take multiple DOMShell commands.\n\nThe code runs in the page context with full DOM access. Promises are automatically awaited. Results are JSON-serialized (truncated at 10000 chars).\n\nCommon patterns:\n js document.title\n js document.querySelectorAll(. 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_js? +

Register the DOMShell MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for domshell_js: 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_js? +

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

Can I rate-limit domshell_js? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the domshell_js 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_js completely? +

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

domshell_js 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.
