WHAT IT DOES

What run_instance_task does on ProAgentStore

AI agents invoke run_instance_task to trigger actions in ProAgentStore. 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.

RISK

Why run_instance_task is rated High

Triggers external browser operations whose effects depend on task arguments; local execution relay amplifies blast radius.

From the tool's definition Create a task on registered browser runtime; executes browser capabilities through relay.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs run_instance_task safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ProAgentStore, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For run_instance_task, this is the rule to start with:

run_instance_task Rate-limited

run_instance_task stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "run_instance_task": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "run_instance_task_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ProAgentStore, apply this rule, and every run_instance_task call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about run_instance_task

What does the run_instance_task tool do? +

Create a task on the registered local or managed browser runtime for a private instance. The PAGS brain stays in control; the local ProAgentStore runner executes browser capabilities through the relay. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the ProAgentStore MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on run_instance_task? +

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

What risk level is run_instance_task? +

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

Can I rate-limit run_instance_task? +

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

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

run_instance_task is provided by the ProAgentStore MCP server (https://mcp.proagentstore.online/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
