What flow_disconnect does on Google Flow Browser MCP

AI agents invoke flow_disconnect to trigger actions in Google Flow Browser MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

Why flow_disconnect needs a policy

This tool terminates an active browser session and cleans up the MCP connection. It executes a teardown operation that ends external browser automation and connection state. While not permanently destructive to data, it disrupts ongoing operations and cannot be trivially undone without reconnecting, placing it in Execute rather than Destructive (no data is deleted).

How to control flow_disconnect

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Google Flow Browser MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for flow_disconnect:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "flow_disconnect": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "flow_disconnect_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

flow_disconnect stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Google Flow Browser MCP — 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.
