WHAT IT DOES

What web_scrape does on GadgetHumans API Hub

AI agents invoke web_scrape to trigger actions in GadgetHumans API Hub. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why web_scrape is rated High

Web scraping involves making external HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs and executing content retrieval/parsing logic, which qualifies as Execute. However, the empty description significantly lowers confidence. Given the server context (utility APIs), this could be a simple read tool, but web scraping can have meaningful side effects (triggering server-side analytics, hitting rate limits, accessing sensitive pages).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'web_scrape' implies fetching and processing external web content; description is empty and uninformative.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs web_scrape safely

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

web_scrape Rate-limited

web_scrape stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "web_scrape": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "web_scrape_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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

Can I rate-limit web_scrape? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the web_scrape rule in your PolicyLayer 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 web_scrape completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for web_scrape. 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 web_scrape? +
