Why omniwire_cookies needs a policy

While cookies are sensitive authentication/session tokens that could be misused for authentication bypass or session hijacking if extracted without authorization, the tool itself is fundamentally a Read operation—it retrieves, exports, and converts cookie data.

From the tool's definition Tool handles cookie management including 'Import/export/convert between JSON, Header string, and Netscape cookies.txt formats' and 'Extract from Chrome/Firefox'. Primarily retrieves and transforms cookie data without modifying backend systems.

How to control omniwire_cookies

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "omniwire_cookies": {}
  }
}

omniwire_cookies is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register OmniWire — 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.
