Why storage_state_load needs a policy

This tool loads a persisted browser session state (cookies and localStorage) from a file, which actively manipulates the browser's authentication/session context to bypass Cloudflare and login checks. While it involves reading a file and writing to browser state, the primary effect is triggering an external browser operation that alters session context, making it Execute.

From the tool's definition Load cookies + localStorage from a JSON file...Bypass CF/login if session is fresh

POLICY

How to control storage_state_load

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 storage_state_load:

policy.json

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

storage_state_load 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 MCP Camoufox — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about storage_state_load

What does the storage_state_load tool do? +

Load cookies + localStorage from a JSON file (created by storage_state_save). Bypass CF/login if session is fresh. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the MCP Camoufox MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on storage_state_load? +

Register the MCP Camoufox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for storage_state_load: 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.

What risk level is storage_state_load? +

storage_state_load is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit storage_state_load? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the storage_state_load 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.

How do I block storage_state_load completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for storage_state_load. 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.

What MCP server provides storage_state_load? +

storage_state_load 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.

Enforce policy on every MCP Camoufox tool call.

Start from MCP Camoufox, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
