Panerelay: Open-source project proposes fine-grained access control for browser agents
Potential_Fee3513 · reddit · 2026-07-31
Allowing AI agents to directly take over a daily-use browser via CDP presents an under-specified authorization issue. The author built Panerelay, an open-source project that separates control into site permission, explicit tab authorization, an exclusive mutation lease, visible controlled state, and immediate revocation.
This setup allows agents to operate within authorized tabs without switching the tab the user is currently viewing. The author seeks community feedback on whether access should be approved per tab, per origin, or per session, and how agent control should be handled during manual user intervention.
