Act MAY Recommendation

Why it matters

The toolautosubmit attribute allows AI agents to submit forms without user confirmation. This is safe for search/filter forms but risky for payment, account deletion, or password forms.

How to fix it

Remove toolautosubmit from forms with sensitive data.

  1. Find forms with toolautosubmit and a password, payment or delete action.

  2. Remove toolautosubmit from these forms so that the user confirms each submit.
