Get the text content of an element using XPath.
AI agents call Get-Element-Text 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.
This tool retrieves text content from a web page element without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. While it operates within a browser automation context (which carries inherent risk), the isolated action is a straightforward read operation. The low severity reflects that extracting text alone poses minimal harm; the real risk lies in context—what text is extracted and how it is used by the calling agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'Get-Element-Text' and description 'Get the text content of an element using XPath' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and the passive nature of reading text from a DOM element confirm read-only semantics.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the text content of an 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-Text: 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-Text 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-Text 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-Text. 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-Text 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.
