What switch_tenant_id does on Playwright Stealth

AI agents invoke switch_tenant_id to trigger actions in Playwright Stealth. 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 switch_tenant_id needs a policy

This tool changes the active tenant context for all subsequent API requests, effectively allowing an AI agent to operate as a different tenant. While it doesn't directly delete or write data, it triggers a state change that affects the scope and permissions of all following operations, potentially enabling unauthorized cross-tenant access. This qualifies as Execute due to its side effects on the API session context.

From the tool's definition Switch the active tenant ID used for all subsequent API requests. This is an admin tool for multi-tenant scenarios.

How to control switch_tenant_id

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Playwright Stealth, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for switch_tenant_id:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "switch_tenant_id": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "switch_tenant_id_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

switch_tenant_id 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Playwright Stealth — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
