WHAT IT DOES

What run_performance_audit does on Chromium ARM64 Browser

AI agents invoke run_performance_audit to trigger actions in Chromium ARM64 Browser. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why run_performance_audit needs a policy

This tool executes an audit operation whose effects depend on the target page and could generate side effects (e.g., consuming resources, triggering page interactions, or exfiltrating performance metrics). While not as severe as arbitrary code execution, it actively runs an external operation rather than passively reading data. The 'run' verb combined with 'audit' on a page indicates code execution.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'run' and description states 'Run a performance audit on the current page'. This triggers execution of a performance analysis operation on the active browser page.
