How to control list_downloads ↓

AI agents call list_downloads 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.

Low Risk

This is a read operation that queries download history and metadata. However, the context of an anti-detection browser automation tool combined with access to downloaded file URLs (contentUrl) and the ability to filter by extension/MIME type elevates severity to medium: an agent could use this to enumerate and potentially retrieve sensitive files downloaded during anti-detection sessions, or coordinate with other…

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_downloads' and description state it 'List downloaded files' with filtering options. No modification, deletion, or execution occurs—it retrieves and queries download metadata including contentUrl.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_downloads 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 list_downloads:

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

list_downloads 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 Camofox — 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.
