Get captured traffic log with filtering options
AI agents call proxy_get_traffic_log to retrieve information from Web Proxy MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries captured network traffic logs. While it is fundamentally a Read operation (no side effects on the data being retrieved), the severity is elevated to medium because traffic logs may contain sensitive information including credentials, API keys, personal data, or proprietary request/response content.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'get' and description states 'Get captured traffic log with filtering options' - clearly a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.
