What detectForms does on MCP Server Generator

AI agents call detectForms to retrieve information from MCP Server Generator without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why detectForms needs a policy

Based on naming convention, 'detectForms' most likely retrieves or identifies HTML forms on a page without modification. However, confidence is reduced due to missing description. Given the tool is part of a browser automation suite (note sibling tools like clickElement, closeBrowser), it appears to be a reconnaissance/query operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'detectForms' suggests form detection/scanning functionality. No description provided to confirm capability scope.

How to control detectForms

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Server Generator, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for detectForms:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "detectForms": {}
  }
}

detectForms is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register MCP Server Generator — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
