cloak_forward · CloakBrowser MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What cloak_forward does on CloakBrowser MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why cloak_forward needs a policy

This tool triggers a browser navigation action (moving forward in history), which is an external browser operation. It doesn't merely read data but actively controls the browser state. Severity is low since it only moves forward in existing history and has limited blast radius.
