# BrowserNavigate

Navigate the Agent working in-app browser tab to a URL or search query. Explicit URLs, bare domains, localhost, and IP addresses are opened directly; other text is searched with Google. The managed browser accepts any URL Chromium can load; downloads and popups stay inside the managed browser, while browser permissions remain blocked.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "BrowserNavigate",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why BrowserNavigate is rated High

BrowserNavigate triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

## Use case

AI agents invoke BrowserNavigate to trigger actions in DutyDeck. 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches DutyDeck:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "BrowserNavigate": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "browsernavigate_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
