Why chrome_get_url needs a policy

The tool retrieves the current URL from a Chrome tab, which is a read-only operation that queries state without modifying or executing anything. No destructive, financial, or code execution capability. Confidence is slightly reduced due to empty description, but the name and server context (automation tools for UI interaction) clearly indicate a non-destructive retrieval function.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'chrome_get_url' indicates retrieval of URL information from Chrome browser. Empty description, but name and sibling context (chrome_get_title, chrome_navigate) suggest query/retrieval operations without side effects.

How to control chrome_get_url

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

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

chrome_get_url 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 WinScript — 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.
