What list_requests does on Proxypin

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

Why list_requests needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries historical HTTP traffic metadata without side effects. It enables data discovery and inspection as a starting point for further analysis, but performs no write, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only view captured network traffic, which presents informational risk but no operational damage or data loss.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'List[s] recent captured HTTP(S) requests with summary info' and 'Returns newest first.' The verb is 'list' and the action is read-only browsing/inspection of already-captured traffic data.
