Support `allowed-origins` flag to allow secure deployment of Toolbox.
Current Toolbox is **insecure by default**, which allows all origin
(`*`). This PR also updated docs to notify user of the new
`allowed-origins` flag in the Cloud Run, kubernetes, and docker
deployment docs.
This PR was tested manually by mocking a browser access:
1. Created a HTML file with Javascript fetch named
`malicious-client.html`:
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Malicious CORS Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Attempting to access API at http://127.0.0.1:5000/mcp</h1>
<p>Check the **Chrome Developer Console** (F12 -> Console tab) for the result.</p>
<script>
fetch('http://127.0.0.1:5000/mcp', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
// The browser automatically adds the 'Origin' header based on where this HTML is served from (http://localhost:8000)
},
body: JSON.stringify({
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/list"
})
})
.then(response => {
console.log('Success (but check console for CORS enforcement details):', response);
return response.json();
})
.then(data => console.log('Data received (only if CORS passes):', data))
.catch(error => console.error('Fetch Error:', error));
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
2. Run `python3 -m http.server 8000`
3. Open `http://localhost:8000/malicious-client.html` in browser.
4. Tried without `--allowed-origins` flag -- success.
Tried with `--allowed-origins=http://localhost:8000` -- success.
Tried with `--allowed-origins=http://foo.com` -- unsuccessful.
