What browser_evaluate does on Wmux

AI agents invoke browser_evaluate to trigger actions in Wmux. 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.

Why browser_evaluate needs a policy

Executing arbitrary JavaScript in a browser page context is a code execution primitive. Even with default safety filters, the tool runs JS in a live browser context and the filters can be bypassed with allowDangerous:true. Misuse could exfiltrate data, manipulate the DOM, steal credentials, or perform unauthorized actions on any loaded page — critical blast radius.

From the tool's definition 'Evaluate a JavaScript expression in the browser page context' — executes arbitrary JavaScript; dangerous patterns like fetch, XHR, cookies, storage, eval, Function are explicitly called out; allowDangerous:true override available
