## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why get_network_request is rated Low

This tool retrieves network request information, which is a read operation with no side effects. However, network requests can contain sensitive data (auth tokens, API keys, personal information, request bodies), making it medium severity if misused by an untrusted agent to exfiltrate information.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_network_request' and description 'Get network requests' indicate retrieval of network request data without modification or execution of actions."

## Use case

AI agents call get_network_request 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",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_network_request": {}
  }
}
```
