gets the current URL of the page
AI agents call get_current_url to retrieve information from Selenium MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about the current browser state (the URL) without executing code, modifying data, or triggering external operations. It is a passive query operation analogous to fetching a value, making it a Read category risk.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'gets the current URL of the page' — a pure retrieval operation with no side effects or state modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
gets the current URL of the page. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Selenium MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Selenium MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_current_url: 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 Selenium MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_current_url is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_current_url 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_current_url. 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.
get_current_url is provided by the Selenium MCP Server MCP server (jyothishkumarav/selenium-mcp-server-python). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
