Why browser_clipboard_write needs a policy

This tool modifies clipboard state by writing text, which is reversible (subsequent writes can overwrite it). It is not destructive since clipboard modifications can be undone by writing different content. However, it could facilitate credential theft if an AI agent writes sensitive data to clipboard, or enable injection attacks if clipboard content is used by other applications.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'browser_clipboard_write' and description 'Write text to the Xvfb system clipboard' explicitly indicate data modification via clipboard write operation.

How to control browser_clipboard_write

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_clipboard_write:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "browser_clipboard_write": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "browser_clipboard_write_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

browser_clipboard_write stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
