What mouse_replay does on MCP Camoufox

AI agents invoke mouse_replay to trigger actions in MCP Camoufox. 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.

Why mouse_replay needs a policy

This tool executes browser mouse actions by replaying a previously recorded mouse path, which triggers real browser interactions (clicks, drags, movements) that can affect web page state. It falls under Execute as it performs browser actions whose effects depend on what was recorded.

How to control mouse_replay

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 mouse_replay:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "mouse_replay": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "mouse_replay_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

mouse_replay 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.

  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.
