navigate_browser_tab

THE RISK

High Risk

This tool executes commands that change application state (tab navigation) in Bitwig Studio. While the direct effect is reversible, it is an action that triggers external operations whose effects depend on context (which tab is selected affects subsequent operations). This qualifies as Execute rather than Write, as it performs navigation/control operations.

From the tool's definition Tool 'navigate_browser_tab' performs actions that control Bitwig Studio's browser interface by navigating between tabs.

HOW TO CONTROL NAVIGATE_BROWSER_TAB

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

policy.json

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

navigate_browser_tab 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 Bitwig MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
