What selenium_status does on Yaver
AI agents call selenium_status to retrieve information from Yaver without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why selenium_status is rated Low

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs selenium_status safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Yaver, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For selenium_status, this is the rule to start with:
selenium_status is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Yaver, apply this rule, and every selenium_status call is checked against it from then on.
