What browser_click does on Concurrent Browser MCP

AI agents invoke browser_click to trigger actions in Concurrent Browser MCP. 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.

High Risk

Why browser_click needs a policy

Clicking a page element is an active browser action whose effects are highly context-dependent. It can trigger form submissions, purchases, deletions, logins, file downloads, or other irreversible operations. Because the blast radius depends on what is clicked, and an AI agent could click destructive or financial UI elements, this is classified as Execute with high severity.

From the tool's definition "Click on a page element" — triggers a browser interaction that can submit forms, navigate pages, activate UI controls, or initiate external operations depending on the target element.

How to control browser_click

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Concurrent Browser MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for browser_click:

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

browser_click 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 Concurrent Browser MCP — 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.
