drag_and_drop · MCP Selenium Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What drag_and_drop does on MCP Selenium Server

AI agents invoke drag_and_drop to trigger actions in MCP Selenium Server. 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why drag_and_drop needs a policy

Drag-and-drop is a browser action that executes an interactive operation in a live browser session. Its effects depend on the application under control and can range from reordering items to triggering uploads or workflow state changes, making it Execute-category with medium severity.

From the tool's definition 'drags an element and drops it onto another element' — triggers browser UI interaction that manipulates DOM state and can invoke arbitrary application-side effects depending on the target

drag_and_drop Rate-limited

drag_and_drop 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.
