WHAT IT DOES

What playwright_llm_set_model does on Web-LLM MCP Server

AI agents invoke playwright_llm_set_model to trigger actions in Web-LLM MCP Server. 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 IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why playwright_llm_set_model needs a policy

This tool uses Playwright to automate a browser interaction that changes which LLM model is loaded/active. It doesn't merely read data, nor does it delete anything irreversibly or involve finances. It executes an external operation (model switch) whose effects depend on the argument (the target model name), fitting the Execute category.

From the tool's definition 'Change the current Web-LLM model' — triggers a model-switching operation via Playwright browser automation, causing an external state change in the running browser/LLM session.
