THE RISK

Why browser_cookies_clear needs a policy

Clearing all browser cookies is a destructive operation that cannot be easily undone. It irreversibly removes authentication tokens, session data, preferences, and tracking information, potentially breaking user sessions and requiring re-authentication. While not as severe as data deletion on a server, this represents permanent loss of client-side state.

From the tool's definition The tool name 'browser_cookies_clear' combined with the description 'Clear all browser cookies' indicates irreversible deletion of stored cookies. The word 'clear' in this context means permanent removal.

How to control browser_cookies_clear

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_cookies_clear:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "browser_cookies_clear"
  ]
}

browser_cookies_clear disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register Termux Browser Pilot — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
