What browser_check does on Termux Browser Pilot

AI agents invoke browser_check to trigger actions in Termux Browser Pilot. 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 browser_check needs a policy

This tool performs an interactive browser action (checking/unchecking form controls) in a real browser. It's not merely reading data, nor is it creating/modifying persistent data in a reversible write sense — it executes a UI interaction that can trigger form submissions, enable/disable features, or change application state depending on the target element.

From the tool's definition 'Check, uncheck, or toggle a checkbox or radio button' — triggers browser UI interaction/action on a live browser automation session

How to control browser_check

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

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

browser_check 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 Termux Browser Pilot — 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.
