page_content

Get HTML content from page or element.

How to control page_content ↓

AI agents call page_content 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.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves and queries HTML content from a browser page or DOM element without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational, returning data to the agent. The operation has no side effects on the system or application state, making it a Read category tool with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get HTML content from page or element' - a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access page_content 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 page_content:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "page_content": {}
  }
}

page_content is read-only, so it stays allowed — but 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 page_content tool do? +

Get HTML content from page or element. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OpenChrome MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on page_content? +

Register the OpenChrome MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for page_content: 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 page_content? +

page_content is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit page_content? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the page_content 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 page_content completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for page_content. 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 page_content? +

page_content 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.
