AI agents call oc_gate_inspect 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 tool performs detection and inspection of authentication barriers on the current tab. It retrieves information about whether a page is protected by CAPTCHA, SSO, or similar mechanisms, but does not modify state, execute code, or trigger actions. It is purely observational, making it a Read category tool with low severity since it only gathers information without side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'oc_gate_inspect' with description 'Detect whether the current tab is gated (CAPTCHA, SSO redirect...' indicates inspection/detection of page state without modification or execution of commands.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access oc_gate_inspect 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_gate_inspect:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"oc_gate_inspect": {}
}
}oc_gate_inspect is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the OpenChrome MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for oc_gate_inspect: 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_gate_inspect 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_gate_inspect 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_gate_inspect. 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_gate_inspect 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.
