THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why interceptor_browser_close needs a policy

Closing a browser instance is an irreversible action — it terminates the process, potentially losing any unsaved state, open sessions, captured traffic, and in-progress interactions. This cannot be undone once executed, placing it in the Destructive category. Severity is medium since the blast radius is limited to the browser session rather than persistent data stores.

From the tool's definition Close a browser instance launched by interceptor_browser_launch (or interceptor_camoufox_launch).

POLICY

How to control interceptor_browser_close

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "interceptor_browser_close"
  ]
}

interceptor_browser_close disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

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

FAQ

Questions about interceptor_browser_close

What does the interceptor_browser_close tool do? +

Close a browser instance launched by interceptor_browser_launch (or interceptor_camoufox_launch). It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Proxy MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on interceptor_browser_close? +

Register the Proxy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for interceptor_browser_close: 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 Proxy. Nothing to install.

What risk level is interceptor_browser_close? +

interceptor_browser_close is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit interceptor_browser_close? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the interceptor_browser_close 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.

How do I block interceptor_browser_close completely? +

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

interceptor_browser_close is provided by the Proxy MCP server (yfe404/proxy-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Proxy tool call.

Start from Proxy, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
