Outputs the full HTML of the given element
AI agents call print_element to retrieve information from Autoconsent MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays the HTML structure of a DOM element without altering it or triggering side effects. It is a pure read operation used for inspection and debugging purposes in browser automation. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused, as viewing HTML cannot cause financial loss, data deletion, or code execution.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Outputs the full HTML of the given element' — a retrieval operation with no modification or execution of external commands.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Outputs the full HTML of the given element. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Autoconsent MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Autoconsent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for print_element: 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 Autoconsent MCP. Nothing to install.
print_element 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 print_element 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 print_element. 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.
print_element is provided by the Autoconsent MCP server (noisysocks/autoconsent-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
