WHAT IT DOES

What scrape_page does on Ncp

AI agents call scrape_page to retrieve information from Ncp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why scrape_page is rated Low

Web scraping is a read operation that fetches and returns page content. Severity is medium because it could be used to access sensitive or internal URLs, make outbound network requests, or bypass access controls depending on what URLs are targeted.

From the tool's definition 'Scrape web page content' — retrieves content from a web page with no indicated side effects

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs scrape_page safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ncp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For scrape_page, this is the rule to start with:

scrape_page Allowed

scrape_page is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "scrape_page": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ncp, apply this rule, and every scrape_page call is checked against it from then on.
