How it works
Every agent request passes through Ferentin policy before it reaches Chrome DevTools (local).
It runs on the developer's Mac and talks to the AI client over stdio, so no network gateway sees it. Developers launch it with npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp.
Ferentin's endpoint agent finds Chrome DevTools (local) in the MCP configuration of AI clients on managed Macs. An administrator adds it once from the local MCP catalog for every managed Mac that launches it this way. Each of its tools starts unvetted until it is approved. Ferentin records every tool call.
