Get the HTML content of the current page. By default, all <script> tags are removed from the output unless removeScripts is explicitly set to false.
AI agents call playwright_get_visible_html to retrieve information from RunAutomation MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves/queries the HTML content of a page without side effects. It is purely informational and does not create, modify, delete, or execute code. Even though it operates within a browser automation context, the specific action is data retrieval only. The default behavior of removing script tags actually reduces risk by preventing exposure to executable code. This is clearly a Read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'playwright_get_visible_html' and description states it 'Get[s] the HTML content of the current page' with optional filtering of script tags. No modification, deletion, or execution of operations is mentioned.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access playwright_get_visible_html gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and RunAutomation MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for playwright_get_visible_html:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"playwright_get_visible_html": {}
}
}playwright_get_visible_html is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Get the HTML content of the current page. By default, all <script> tags are removed from the output unless removeScripts is explicitly set to false. It is categorised as a Read tool in the RunAutomation MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RunAutomation MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for playwright_get_visible_html: 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 RunAutomation MCP Server. Nothing to install.
playwright_get_visible_html 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 playwright_get_visible_html 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 playwright_get_visible_html. 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.
playwright_get_visible_html is provided by the RunAutomation MCP Server MCP server (tayyabakmal1/runautomation-mcpserver). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from RunAutomation MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
