Clean up workflow resources (workers, tabs, scratchpads).

How to control workflow_cleanup ↓

AI agents call workflow_cleanup 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

Even though workflow_cleanup only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

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

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

workflow_cleanup 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 workflow_cleanup tool do? +

Clean up workflow resources (workers, tabs, scratchpads). 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 workflow_cleanup? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit workflow_cleanup? +

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

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

workflow_cleanup 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.
