Why get_browser_session needs a policy

The name 'get_browser_session' suggests retrieving session data (a Read operation), but the empty description provides no confirmation. 'Get' prefix typically implies a read/fetch operation with no side effects. Confidence is lowered due to lack of description. Severity is medium because session data can be sensitive (tokens, credentials).

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'get_browser_session' — description is empty or uninformative.

How to control get_browser_session

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_browser_session": {}
  }
}

get_browser_session is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Prometheus MCP Server — 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.
