AI agents call browser_session_replay to retrieve information from Ruflo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool is a data retrieval primitive that loads and returns recorded browser session steps. It has no side effects—it does not execute browser commands itself (by explicit design per ADR-0001), does not modify or delete data, and does not trigger external operations. The caller is responsible for dispatching the returned steps through separate browser tools. This is purely a read operation with minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Load[s] a recorded session trajectory and return[s] its steps' and explicitly clarifies 'Does NOT itself drive the browser — replay execution is caller-orchestrated'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Load a recorded session trajectory and return its steps so the caller can dispatch them through the 23 browser_* tools. Does NOT itself drive the browser — replay execution is caller-orchestrated to keep this tool a primitive (ADR-0001 §7). Use when native WebFetch is wrong because you need real browser automation — JS-heavy SPA scraping, login flows with cookie reuse, replay against DOM-drifted versions, AIDefence PII gating before content reaches Claude. For static HTML pages, native WebFetch is faster and free. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ruflo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ruflo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for browser_session_replay: 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 Ruflo. Nothing to install.
browser_session_replay 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 browser_session_replay 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 browser_session_replay. 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.
browser_session_replay is provided by the Ruflo MCP server (ruvnet/ruflo). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
browser_session_replay is one line of Ruflo's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
