However, without a description, confidence is low. Among sibling tools (click, close, drag, cookie operations), this appears to be a visual/UI manipulation tool.

POLICY

How to control browser_video_hide_actions

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "browser_video_hide_actions": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "browser_video_hide_actions_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

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