Why get_html needs a policy

This tool retrieves HTML markup from a webpage or DOM element. It is a read-only operation that queries and returns data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing code. While the parent server (Camoufox) has capabilities for bypassing detection systems and web automation that could facilitate misuse, this specific tool itself only extracts content.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_html' and description 'Get HTML content from page or element' indicate retrieval of static page content with no modification.

How to control get_html

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

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

get_html 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 MCP Camoufox — 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.
