Part of the Hyperbrowser MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents may call openai_computer_use_agent to permanently remove or destroy resources in Hyperbrowser. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call openai_computer_use_agent in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Hyperbrowser. There is no undo for destructive operations. Intercept blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.
Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

openai_computer_use_agent is one of the critical-risk operations in Hyperbrowser. For the full severity-focused view — only the critical-risk tools with their recommended policies — see the breakdown for this server, or browse all critical-risk tools across every MCP server.
This tool utilizes OpenAI's model to autonomously execute general-purpose browser-based tasks with balanced performance and reliability using a cloud browser. It handles complex interactions effectively with practical reasoning and clear execution. Optimal for tasks requiring: - Reliable, general-purpose browser automation - Clear, structured interactions with moderate complexity - Efficient handling of common web tasks and workflows Best suited use cases include: - Standard multi-step registration or form submissions - Navigating typical web applications requiring multiple interactions - Conducting structured web research tasks - Extracting data through interactive web processes Provide a clear step-by-step description, necessary context, and expected outcomes. Returns the completed result or an error message if issues arise.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Hyperbrowser MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for openai_computer_use_agent. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Hyperbrowser MCP server.
openai_computer_use_agent is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the openai_computer_use_agent rule in your Intercept 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for openai_computer_use_agent. 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.
openai_computer_use_agent is provided by the Hyperbrowser MCP server (hyperbrowserai/mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
