## Why get-browser-list is rated Low

The tool retrieves or lists existing browser profiles without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. Despite the empty description lowering confidence slightly, the name and server context clearly indicate a read-only retrieval operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get-browser-list' indicates retrieval of browser profile information with no side effects. The description is empty, but the naming pattern and server context (AdsPower LocalAPI for browser profile management) establish this as a query operation."

## Use case

AI agents call get-browser-list to retrieve information from AdsPower LocalAPI MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
