Start or cancel an in-page human element picker overlay. Returns selector, DOM, style, and bounding-box facts; it does not persist skills directly.
AI agents call element_pick to permanently remove resources in OpenChrome — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
An AI agent that decides to call element_pick doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from OpenChrome is gone — there is no undo for destructive operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access element_pick gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OpenChrome, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for element_pick:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"element_pick"
]
}element_pick disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Start or cancel an in-page human element picker overlay. Returns selector, DOM, style, and bounding-box facts; it does not persist skills directly. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the OpenChrome MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the OpenChrome MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for element_pick: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches OpenChrome. Nothing to install.
element_pick is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the element_pick rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for element_pick. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
element_pick is provided by the OpenChrome MCP server (shaun0927/openchrome). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
