Get the text content of an element
AI agents call puppeteer_get_text to retrieve information from Claude TypeScript MCP Servers without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool extracts and returns text from a DOM element without modifying state, creating resources, executing arbitrary code, or triggering external side effects. The operation is read-only and reversible by nature. Low severity because misuse by an AI agent poses minimal risk—the worst outcome is accessing unintended text content, which cannot cause data loss, financial harm, or system damage.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get the text content of an element' — a retrieval operation with no side effects. Consistent with the Read category pattern (search, list, get, fetch).
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access puppeteer_get_text gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Claude TypeScript MCP Servers, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for puppeteer_get_text:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"puppeteer_get_text": {}
}
} puppeteer_get_text 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 text content of an element. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude TypeScript MCP Servers MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Claude TypeScript MCP Servers MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for puppeteer_get_text: 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 Claude TypeScript MCP Servers. Nothing to install.
puppeteer_get_text 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 puppeteer_get_text 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 puppeteer_get_text. 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.
puppeteer_get_text is provided by the Claude TypeScript MCP Servers MCP server (ukkz/claude-ts-mcps). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Claude TypeScript MCP Servers, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
