WHAT IT DOES

What browser_throttle_set does on Termux Browser Pilot

AI agents invoke browser_throttle_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.

RISK

Why browser_throttle_set is rated High

This tool modifies the browser's network behavior by enabling/configuring throttling, which is an active operation that affects external network interactions and browser state. It doesn't merely read data, nor does it irreversibly destroy anything, but it does trigger a behavioral change in an executing browser environment. Most severe applicable category is Execute.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs browser_throttle_set safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Termux Browser Pilot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For browser_throttle_set, this is the rule to start with:

browser_throttle_set Rate-limited

browser_throttle_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.
