Get the current browser URL.
AI agents call get_current_url to retrieve information from ComputerMate without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries browser state and returns data without modifying anything. It is a passive information retrieval operation analogous to a GET request. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent obtaining the current URL poses no direct risk to data integrity, financial systems, or system security.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description clearly indicate retrieval of browser URL state with no side effects: 'Get the current browser URL.'
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the current browser URL. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ComputerMate MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ComputerMate MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_current_url: 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 ComputerMate. Nothing to install.
get_current_url 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_current_url 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_current_url. 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_current_url is provided by the ComputerMate MCP server (one710/computermate). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
