WHAT IT DOES

What puppeteer_hover does on Claude TypeScript MCP Servers

AI agents invoke puppeteer_hover 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.

THE RISK

Why puppeteer_hover needs a policy

This tool triggers a browser action (hovering over a page element) using Puppeteer, which constitutes executing an external operation. Hovering can trigger JavaScript events, dropdowns, tooltips, or other dynamic behaviors on a page. While hover itself is relatively low-impact, it is an active browser interaction that executes in an external browser context, placing it in the Execute category.

From the tool's definition Hover over an element on the page

POLICY

How to control puppeteer_hover

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_hover:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "puppeteer_hover": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "puppeteer_hover_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

puppeteer_hover 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.

Create a free account and register Claude TypeScript MCP Servers — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I block puppeteer_hover completely? +

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

puppeteer_hover 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.
