oc_reflect

Create, get, or list structured task-failure reflection artifacts.

How to control oc_reflect ↓

AI agents use oc_reflect to create or update resources in OpenChrome — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your OpenChrome environment.

Medium Risk

The tool supports create and write operations on reflection artifacts (storing task-failure metadata). While it includes read operations (get, list), the create capability places it in the Write category. Severity is medium because creating artifacts could be misused to store misleading failure data, influencing subsequent agent decisions, though the blast radius is limited compared to Execute or Destructive actions.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'create, get, or list' operations on 'structured task-failure reflection artifacts' — it creates and retrieves records rather than executing browser actions or deleting data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access oc_reflect 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_reflect:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "oc_reflect": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "oc_reflect_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

oc_reflect stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register OpenChrome — 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.

What does the oc_reflect tool do? +

Create, get, or list structured task-failure reflection artifacts. It is categorised as a Write tool in the OpenChrome MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on oc_reflect? +

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

What risk level is oc_reflect? +

oc_reflect is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit oc_reflect? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the oc_reflect 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.

How do I block oc_reflect completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for oc_reflect. 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.

What MCP server provides oc_reflect? +

oc_reflect 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.

Enforce policy on every OpenChrome tool call.
