What dragAndDrop does on PlayMCP Browser Automation Server

AI agents invoke dragAndDrop to trigger actions in PlayMCP Browser Automation Server. 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.

High Risk

Why dragAndDrop needs a policy

dragAndDrop performs a browser automation action (dragging UI elements), which constitutes executing an external operation with effects that depend on arguments. It can trigger state changes in web applications (e.g., reordering items, moving files, triggering drop-zone handlers). This falls under Execute as it drives browser interactions beyond simple reads or writes.

From the tool's definition 'Drag and drop from one element to another' — triggers a browser interaction/action that manipulates UI elements

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access dragAndDrop gives an agent:

How to control dragAndDrop

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "dragAndDrop": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "draganddrop_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

dragAndDrop 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.

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