Why mcp_browser_use__camoufox_start needs a policy

This tool starts a browser automation session (Selenium/Camoufox), which triggers external operations whose effects depend on subsequent instructions. It is Execute rather than Write because it does not create/modify data directly, but rather orchestrates execution of arbitrary browser-based actions (navigation, DOM manipulation, JavaScript execution, user interactions) that could access sensitive data, perform…

From the tool's definition Server description states 'Empowers AI agents to perform web browsing, automation, and scraping tasks' and 'using Selenium'. Tool name 'camoufox_start' indicates launching a browser automation engine.

POLICY

How to control mcp_browser_use__camoufox_start

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Browser Use, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for mcp_browser_use__camoufox_start:

policy.json

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

mcp_browser_use__camoufox_start 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.

Create a free account and register MCP Browser Use — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
