Fetch any URL through a residential proxy network (2M+ IPs, 195 countries, anti-bot bypass). Works on Amazon, LinkedIn, Cloudflare-protected pages, and most commercial sites. Use agentproxy_render instead for JavaScript-heavy pages that need a real browser.
AI agents call agentproxy_fetch to retrieve information from Novada Proxy without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves/fetches web content (Read), but routes requests through residential proxies to bypass anti-bot systems. The severity is medium because misuse could enable scraping of protected sites at scale, circumventing ToS and anti-abuse measures, though the tool itself only retrieves data without writing or executing code on remote systems.

Fetch any URL through a residential proxy network (2M+ IPs, 195 countries, anti-bot bypass). Works on Amazon, LinkedIn, Cloudflare-protected pages, and most commercial sites. Use agentproxy_render instead for JavaScript-heavy pages that need a real browser. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Novada Proxy MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Novada Proxy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for agentproxy_fetch: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Novada Proxy. Nothing to install.
agentproxy_fetch is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the agentproxy_fetch 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for agentproxy_fetch. 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.
agentproxy_fetch is provided by the Novada Proxy MCP server (novadalabs/novada-proxy). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
