Extract text content from the current browser page, optionally filtered by CSS selector
AI agents call browser_extract to retrieve information from ClawDaemon MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation: extracting and returning text content from a webpage. It does not modify, delete, or execute code, nor does it trigger external operations. The CSS selector filtering is a parameter for querying, not for executing actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'browser_extract' and description 'Extract text content from the current browser page, optionally filtered by CSS selector' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

Register the ClawDaemon MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for browser_extract: 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 ClawDaemon MCP. Nothing to install.
browser_extract 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 browser_extract 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 browser_extract. 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.
browser_extract is provided by the ClawDaemon MCP server (mordiaky/clawdaemon-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
