Why query_dom needs a policy

query_dom retrieves DOM elements matching a CSS selector and returns their properties/state. This is a passive observation operation with no side effects, modification, or execution. It fits squarely within the Read category—similar to 'get' or 'fetch' operations.

From the tool's definition Tool is described as 'Query one or multiple elements by CSS selector.' The verb 'query' and the operation of selecting DOM elements are read-only operations that retrieve data without modifying, executing code, or causing side effects.

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

How to control query_dom

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "query_dom": {}
  }
}

query_dom is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register JS Reverse Strong MCP — 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.
