goto · ComputerMate MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What goto does on ComputerMate

AI agents invoke goto to trigger actions in ComputerMate. 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 goto needs a policy

Navigating to a URL triggers an external browser action that can load arbitrary web pages, initiate network requests, or interact with web applications. This is an external operation whose effects depend on the URL argument, placing it in the Execute category. Misuse could lead to visiting malicious sites, triggering web-based attacks, or exfiltrating data via crafted URLs.

Verdict

goto Rate-limited

goto stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: every tool call is checked against your rule before it reaches ComputerMate, so you can run agents against it safely.

FAQ

Questions about goto

What does the goto tool do? +

Navigate the browser to a URL. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the ComputerMate MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on goto? +

Register the ComputerMate MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for goto: 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.

What risk level is goto? +

goto is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit goto? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the goto 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.

How do I block goto completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for goto. 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.

What MCP server provides goto? +

goto 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.
