Get the HTML content of a specific element using XPath.
AI agents call Get-Element-HTML to retrieve information from MCP GitHub Login Automation Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool itself performs a read-only operation (retrieves HTML content). However, in the context of an automated GitHub login system with credential management, an agent could use this tool to extract sensitive data like session tokens, authentication cookies, or credentials from page elements. This elevates severity from 'low' to 'medium' despite the benign read operation, due to the high-value target environment.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'Get-Element-HTML' and description 'Get the HTML content of a specific element' indicate it retrieves data without modifying state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the HTML content of a specific element using XPath. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP GitHub Login Automation Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP GitHub Login Automation Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for Get-Element-HTML: 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 MCP GitHub Login Automation Server. Nothing to install.
Get-Element-HTML 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 Get-Element-HTML 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 Get-Element-HTML. 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.
Get-Element-HTML is provided by the MCP GitHub Login Automation Server MCP server (nikhil-kandekar/mcp-server-demo). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
