List all IRA Chrome instances
AI agents call ira_instances to retrieve information from IRA-RESEARCHER 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 that queries the state of running Chrome instances. It retrieves data without modification, deletion, or execution of external commands. The blast radius is minimal since listing instances poses no direct harm and provides only informational output. Low severity is appropriate for passive enumeration of internal browser state.
From the tool's definition 'List all IRA Chrome instances' - a listing/query operation that retrieves information about running browser instances without modifying, executing commands, or causing side effects.

Register the IRA-RESEARCHER MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ira_instances: 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 IRA-RESEARCHER. Nothing to install.
ira_instances 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 ira_instances 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 ira_instances. 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.
ira_instances is provided by the IRA-RESEARCHER MCP server (neuralnexustech/ira-researcher). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
