Type text into a field and press a key (default: Enter). Useful for search boxes and single-field forms.
AI agents invoke type_and_submit to trigger actions in Camofox. 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.
This tool performs browser actions — typing into form fields and submitting them — which triggers external operations (form submissions, searches, logins, etc.) whose effects depend on the arguments provided. It goes beyond simply reading or writing data in a storage system; it interacts with live web interfaces in ways that can have broad side effects (e.g., submitting purchases, logins, or other web forms).
From the tool's definition 'Type text into a field and press a key (default: Enter). Useful for search boxes and single-field forms.'
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access type_and_submit 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 type_and_submit:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"type_and_submit": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "type_and_submit_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}type_and_submit 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.
Free to start. No card required.
Type text into a field and press a key (default: Enter). Useful for search boxes and single-field forms. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Camofox MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Camofox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for type_and_submit: 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.
type_and_submit is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the type_and_submit 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 type_and_submit. 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.
type_and_submit 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.
