THE RISK

Low Risk

Why list_network_requests needs a policy

This tool performs pure data retrieval and inspection of existing network traffic. While the server context involves browser automation and debugging capabilities, this specific tool merely lists network requests without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is information-gathering only, making it a Read operation with low severity due to the minimal risk of misuse (viewing network request metadata).

From the tool's definition The tool 'list_network_requests' retrieves and queries network request data that has already occurred on the page, with a description explicitly stating it 'List all requests' - a passive observation action with no side effects.

POLICY

How to control list_network_requests

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and ReverseCraft DevTools MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_network_requests:

policy.json

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

list_network_requests is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register ReverseCraft DevTools MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
