Get CDP connection health metrics including heartbeat mode, reconnect count, ping latency, connection state, and live reconnection progress. Use this to monitor connection stability during long-running sessions.
AI agents call oc_connection_health to retrieve information from OpenChrome without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a diagnostic/monitoring tool that queries the state of a Chrome DevTools Protocol connection. It performs no mutations, executions, or destructive operations—it merely reports telemetry about connection stability. Appropriate for low severity as it cannot harm the underlying system or data.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves connection health metrics and monitoring data (heartbeat mode, reconnect count, ping latency, connection state, live reconnection progress). Keywords: 'Get', 'monitor', 'metrics' indicate read-only observation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access oc_connection_health 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 oc_connection_health:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"oc_connection_health": {}
}
}oc_connection_health is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get CDP connection health metrics including heartbeat mode, reconnect count, ping latency, connection state, and live reconnection progress. Use this to monitor connection stability during long-running sessions. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OpenChrome MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the OpenChrome MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for oc_connection_health: 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.
oc_connection_health is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the oc_connection_health 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 oc_connection_health. 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.
oc_connection_health 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.
