Security Policy

The short version

Do not open a public issue for a security problem. Email contactopenax@gmail.com with enough detail to reproduce, and you will get an acknowledgement within 72 hours and a triage decision within 7 days.

We ask for 90 days before public disclosure so a fix can ship. We do not run a bounty programme and we will not pretend otherwise.

What is in scope

A polyfill for this API is a security boundary, not a convenience shim. It mediates who may call a tool, what they may pass to it, and what crosses back out. Treat a bug here as a bug in a trust boundary.

  • Origin isolation. Can a document register, discover or execute a tool it should not reach, including through a cross-origin frame or a nested browsing context?
  • exposedTo and fromOrigins. Can a tool be invoked by an origin that was not granted it, or can a granted origin reach a tool that was not exposed to it?
  • Permissions Policy. Is the tools directive enforced, and does a disabled permission actually reject rather than quietly succeed?
  • Tool execution. Can executeTool run a tool without the caller's own session, escalate privilege, or bypass a check the page author wrote?
  • Injection. Can content from a page, a tool description or a tool argument reach a model in a way the page author did not intend to expose?
  • Credentials. Can a secret, cookie or token cross the boundary between the page and an agent?
  • Any shipped CLI, extension or test adapter that executes page-supplied data.

What is out of scope

  • Vulnerabilities in the web platform itself. Report those to the browser vendors.
  • Vulnerabilities in Chromium's own WebMCP implementation. Report those to Chromium, and tell us anyway so we can track it.
  • Weaknesses in the WebMCP design. Take those to webmachinelearning/webmcp. We will still want to know, because our polyfill inherits the design.
  • Missing hardening with no demonstrated path to exploitation. Suggest it in Discussions.
  • Vulnerabilities in our dependencies. Report those upstream, and tell us which dependency so we can pin or drop it.

Supported versions

Version Supported
0.x Best effort. Security fixes only, no backports to older minors.

A 0.x package is a statement that the interface may still change. Pin what you depend on and read the release notes before upgrading.

A note on this contact address

This is a personal address, not a role address. It works, and it is the truth of who maintains this today. Once a domain is registered it will be replaced with a security@ alias so that reports do not depend on one person's willingness to keep reading mail.
