Part of the Hyperbrowser MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call extract_structured_data to retrieve information from Hyperbrowser without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though extract_structured_data only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the extract_structured_data tool do? +

Extract structured data from a webpage. This tool allows you to extract structured data from a webpage using a schema.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hyperbrowser MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on extract_structured_data? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for extract_structured_data. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Hyperbrowser MCP server.

What risk level is extract_structured_data? +

extract_structured_data is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit extract_structured_data? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the extract_structured_data rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block extract_structured_data completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for extract_structured_data. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides extract_structured_data? +

extract_structured_data is provided by the Hyperbrowser MCP server (hyperbrowserai/mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
