Get detailed info about an element (tag, attributes, bounding box, styles).
AI agents call inspect_element to retrieve information from MCP Camoufox without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool only reads and returns element properties without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. It is purely informational. While the server overall has concerning capabilities (bot detection bypass, data scraping), this specific tool is limited to Read operations.
From the tool's definition inspect_element retrieves detailed information about an element (tag, attributes, bounding box, styles) with no modification capability. This is a query/inspection operation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access inspect_element gives an agent:
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 inspect_element:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"inspect_element": {}
}
}inspect_element is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get detailed info about an element (tag, attributes, bounding box, styles). It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Camoufox MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Camoufox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for inspect_element: 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 MCP Camoufox. Nothing to install.
inspect_element 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 inspect_element 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 inspect_element. 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.
inspect_element is provided by the MCP Camoufox MCP server (robithyusuf/mcp-camoufox). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from MCP Camoufox, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
