Why browser_useragent_clear needs a policy

This tool modifies browser configuration by clearing/resetting the user agent override back to its original value. It's a reversible configuration change (Write category), not destructive since it restores rather than permanently removes data. The blast radius is low as it only affects how the browser identifies itself to web servers.

How to control browser_useragent_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_useragent_clear:

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

browser_useragent_clear 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.
