AI agents invoke interact to trigger actions in OpenChrome. 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.
This tool executes real browser interactions (click, hover, double-click) against a live Chrome browser. These are external operations whose effects depend on the target element — clicking a 'Delete', 'Purchase', or 'Submit' button could have severe, potentially irreversible consequences.
From the tool's definition click/hover/double_click it; wait for DOM settle; return state — triggers real browser interactions on live DOM elements
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access interact 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 interact:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"interact": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "interact_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}interact 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.

It is categorised as a Execute tool in the OpenChrome MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the OpenChrome MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for interact: 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.
interact is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the interact 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 interact. 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.
interact 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.
