Parameter	Type	Required	Description

`tabId`	integer	—	Legacy: a bare tab id, resolved inside the browser this session is already working with. Prefer `target`, which is unambiguous across browsers.
`target`	string	—	Drive a specific tab: a target id like "b7a3c1#487" from status/use_target/CHOOSE_TARGET. Omit to use this session's chosen tab (or the only available one). Pas

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs browser.navigate safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Pixi Inspector, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For browser.navigate, this is the rule to start with:

browser.navigate Rate-limited

browser.navigate gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
