## Why get_console_log is rated Low

This tool retrieves console log data from a browser session. It performs a read-only query operation with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused—an AI could only gain visibility into logged debugging information, which has no destructive or operational impact.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_console_log' and description 'Get console log messages' indicate retrieval of existing console output with no modification or execution capabilities."

## Use case

AI agents call get_console_log to retrieve information from Browser 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)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Browser:

```json
{
  "version": "1",

    "get_console_log": {}
  }
