THE RISK

Why extension_tool_userscripts_configure_world needs a policy

Configuring the USER_SCRIPT world modifies the execution environment for user scripts running in the browser. This affects how scripts are isolated, what APIs they can access, and their security context. While it is a configuration/write action, it directly controls script execution environment properties, making it closer to Execute in impact.

How to control extension_tool_userscripts_configure_world

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

policy.json

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

extension_tool_userscripts_configure_world 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 WebMCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
