Recommended method to get page content (HTML or text) - More reliable than screenshots for content analysis and navigation tasks
AI agents call get_content to retrieve information from Puppeteer Real Browser without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves data from a webpage without side effects. It reads and extracts HTML or text content, which is a classic Read operation. No data is modified, deleted, or executed. The severity is low because content retrieval alone poses minimal risk—an agent could extract information but cannot manipulate the browser state or external systems through this tool alone.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'get[s] page content (HTML or text)' with no mention of modification, deletion, or code execution. The 'Recommended' designation and emphasis on 'content analysis' further indicates passive retrieval.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Recommended method to get page content (HTML or text) - More reliable than screenshots for content analysis and navigation tasks. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Puppeteer Real Browser MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Puppeteer Real Browser MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_content: 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 Puppeteer Real Browser. Nothing to install.
get_content is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_content 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_content. 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.
get_content is provided by the Puppeteer Real Browser MCP server (puppeteer-real-browser-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
