Why browser_mouse_move needs a policy

Based on the tool name, this tool moves the mouse cursor within a browser automation context. Mouse movement is a browser action/interaction that can trigger UI events (hover effects, tooltips, dynamic content). It is part of a real browser automation system running Firefox/Chromium. While moving the mouse alone has limited blast radius, it can be chained with other actions to perform unintended interactions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'browser_mouse_move' on a browser automation server; description is empty and uninformative.

POLICY

How to control browser_mouse_move

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_mouse_move:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "browser_mouse_move": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "browser_mouse_move_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

browser_mouse_move 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.

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.
