Extract resources (images, links, media, documents) from a specific DOM container. Use a CSS selector or element ref from snapshot to scope extraction to a particular section of the page. This is useful for extracting all images from a specific post, all links from a table, etc.
AI agents call extract_resources to retrieve information from Camofox without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs DOM querying and data extraction without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing code. It is purely informational in nature, similar to camofox_get_page_html and camofox_query_selector which are also read operations. The extraction scope (CSS selectors, element refs) does not alter page state.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Extract[s] resources (images, links, media, documents)' with no modification or deletion. It retrieves data from a DOM container using CSS selectors, which is a read-only operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access extract_resources gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Camofox, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for extract_resources:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"extract_resources": {}
}
}extract_resources is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Extract resources (images, links, media, documents) from a specific DOM container. Use a CSS selector or element ref from snapshot to scope extraction to a particular section of the page. This is useful for extracting all images from a specific post, all links from a table, etc. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Camofox MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Camofox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for extract_resources: 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 Camofox. Nothing to install.
extract_resources 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 extract_resources 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 extract_resources. 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.
extract_resources is provided by the Camofox MCP server (redf0x1/camofox-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
