Navigation Tab Settings
General navigation tabs are MCP-owned browser tabs that AI agents can use for ordinary browsing tasks. Depending on your plan and settings, a workbench may have one or more general navigation tabs.
DocuBench maintains workbench-level and global allow lists and deny lists to control which websites AI agents may visit.
Before you start the workbench, you may modify the hosts in the allow list and deny list, and specify the workbench approval behavior when an AI agent navigates to a new website.
Navigation Approval
Navigation approval applies when an AI agent tries to navigate a general navigation tab to a site that is not already allowed by the workbench configuration.
The workbench policy decides what happens:
| Policy | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Reject all | Unknown domains are blocked. |
| Manual approval | DocuBench asks you to approve or deny the site. |
When manual approval is configured, DocuBench shows a pending approval panel in the workbench and sends a system notification.

Your approve or deny decision is recorded in the allow list or deny list.
