AI agents call tab_list 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.
This tool simply enumerates open browser tabs and returns their identifiers/metadata. It performs no modifications, deletions, code execution, or external operations. Although the parent server is designed for bypassing bot detection and web automation, this particular tool is purely informational.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'tab_list' and description states 'List all open tabs' — a pure read operation that retrieves state without side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access tab_list 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 tab_list:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"tab_list": {}
}
}tab_list is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
List all open tabs. 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 tab_list: 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.
tab_list 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 tab_list 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 tab_list. 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.
tab_list 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.
Free to start. No card required.
