query_all

Query all matching DOM elements by CSS selector. Returns a summary of each matching element (tag, id, class, bounding rect, inner text). Useful for checking lists, grids, or multiple instances of a component. Requires a connected browser session. If you get BROWSER_NOT_CONNECTED, call check_sessi...

query_all is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call query_all to retrieve information from Sncro without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though query_all only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

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

What does the query_all tool do? +

Query all matching DOM elements by CSS selector. Returns a summary of each matching element (tag, id, class, bounding rect, inner text). Useful for checking lists, grids, or multiple instances of a component. Requires a connected browser session. If you get BROWSER_NOT_CONNECTED, call check_session first and wait for "connected" status. Args: key: The sncro session key secret: The session secret from create_session selector: CSS selector limit: Max elements to return (default 20). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sncro MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on query_all? +

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

What risk level is query_all? +

query_all is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit query_all? +

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

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

query_all is provided by the Sncro MCP server (https://relay.sncro.net/tools/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Sncro tool call.
