agentproxy_extract

Extract structured fields (title, price, rating, author, etc.) from any URL via residential proxy. Returns JSON with ok, data.fields as key-value map. Uses Open Graph, JSON-LD, and HTML heuristics. WHEN TO USE: Product pages, articles, listings where you need specific fields not raw content. USE...

Accepts URL/endpoint input (url)

Part of the Bestproxy4agents MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call agentproxy_extract to retrieve information from Bestproxy4agents 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 agentproxy_extract 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 agentproxy_extract tool do? +

Extract structured fields (title, price, rating, author, etc.) from any URL via residential proxy. Returns JSON with ok, data.fields as key-value map. Uses Open Graph, JSON-LD, and HTML heuristics. WHEN TO USE: Product pages, articles, listings where you need specific fields not raw content. USE agentproxy_fetch INSTEAD IF: You need full page content, not specific fields. AUTO-ESCALATION: Set render_fallback:true to automatically retry via real browser (agentproxy_render) if the proxy fetch fails with TLS_ERROR or bot detection. Costs 5 credits if escalated. ON FAILURE without render_fallback: If TLS_ERROR or BOT_DETECTION_SUSPECTED → retry with render_fallback:true.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Bestproxy4agents MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on agentproxy_extract? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for agentproxy_extract. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Bestproxy4agents MCP server.

What risk level is agentproxy_extract? +

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

Can I rate-limit agentproxy_extract? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the agentproxy_extract 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 agentproxy_extract completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for agentproxy_extract. 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 agentproxy_extract? +

agentproxy_extract is provided by the Bestproxy4agents MCP server (bestproxy4agents-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
