scroll_and_snapshot

THE RISK

High Risk

This tool performs browser actions (scrolling the page) and captures a snapshot, making it an Execute category tool. It triggers external operations in a controlled browser session. The severity is medium as it could be used to scrape content from pages while evading bot detection, but has limited direct destructive potential on its own.

From the tool's definition Scroll the page and take a snapshot. Useful for revealing content below the fold.

HOW TO CONTROL SCROLL_AND_SNAPSHOT

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 scroll_and_snapshot:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "scroll_and_snapshot": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "scroll_and_snapshot_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

scroll_and_snapshot stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Camofox — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
