Navigate back in browser history
AI agents invoke puppeteer_go_back to trigger actions in Claude TypeScript MCP Servers. 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.
This tool controls a browser (Puppeteer) by triggering a navigation action. It executes a browser operation that changes browser state, qualifying as Execute. Misuse could disrupt automation workflows or cause unintended page navigations, but blast radius is moderate since it only affects browser history navigation.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access puppeteer_go_back 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_go_back:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"puppeteer_go_back": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "puppeteer_go_back_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
} puppeteer_go_back 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.

Navigate back in browser history. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Claude TypeScript MCP Servers MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Claude TypeScript MCP Servers MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for puppeteer_go_back: 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_go_back is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the puppeteer_go_back 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_go_back. 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_go_back 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.
