Add a response mock: matching fetch/XHR requests return fake data.
AI agents invoke browser_mock_set 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.
This tool intercepts and overrides network requests in the browser, injecting fake responses for fetch/XHR calls. This constitutes an active browser-level operation that manipulates the browser's network behavior — it's not merely reading data or writing persistent data, but executing a runtime interception that can alter application behavior, potentially deceive the user or application, and affect security controls.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access browser_mock_set gives an agent:
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_mock_set:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"browser_mock_set": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "browser_mock_set_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}browser_mock_set 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.

Add a response mock: matching fetch/XHR requests return fake data. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Termux Browser Pilot MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Termux Browser Pilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for browser_mock_set: 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 Termux Browser Pilot. Nothing to install.
browser_mock_set is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the browser_mock_set 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_mock_set. 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_mock_set is provided by the Termux Browser Pilot MCP server (salviz/termux-browser-pilot). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Termux Browser Pilot, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
