navigate

Navigate to a URL and return a compact accessibility snapshot with @eN refs. Refs like @e1, @e2 can be passed directly to the 'act' tool — no CSS selectors needed. Snapshots are ~200-500 tokens (vs 15,000 with Playwright MCP).

AI agents invoke navigate to trigger processes or run actions in Leapfrog. 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.

navigate 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access navigate gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the navigate tool do? +

Navigate to a URL and return a compact accessibility snapshot with @eN refs. Refs like @e1, @e2 can be passed directly to the 'act' tool — no CSS selectors needed. Snapshots are ~200-500 tokens (vs 15,000 with Playwright MCP).. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Leapfrog MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on navigate? +

Register the Leapfrog MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for navigate: 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 Leapfrog. Nothing to install.

What risk level is navigate? +

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

Can I rate-limit navigate? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the navigate 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 navigate completely? +

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

navigate is provided by the Leapfrog MCP server (leapfrog-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Leapfrog tool call.
