Benefits with Ory + Microsoft Playwright MCP Server
Use Cases
— 01 use case
Agent IAM
Set test agents to Write so they click, type and navigate, reserve Admin for the rare agent that runs page scripts, use Read for reviewers, and Block the rest.
Core Functionality
— 04 capabilitiesRead, write, admin, or no access
Ory Agent Security classifies every tool on the Playwright MCP server as read, write, or admin, so you can give each user, team, or agent type only the level it needs: read for review agents that capture snapshots and screenshots, write for end-to-end test agents, admin for test infrastructure agents that need full control of the browser, and no access for agents outside your testing workflow.
Enforced before execution
Ory Agent Security checks each tool call against the user, the agent acting for them, and any sub-agent inside the agent harness, so a denied form submission stops before it reaches the browser, with nothing to roll back and no gateway to deploy.
Observe, then enforce
Observe mode shows which Playwright actions each test agent relies on during a normal sprint without blocking anything, so you can apply Ory's pre-built policy for the Playwright MCP server and enforce it on your own schedule.
Complete audit trail
Every allow and deny decision on the Playwright MCP server streams to your SIEM through OpenTelemetry with the user, agent, and action attached, so you can show which agent submitted a form or changed a page, and for whom.
