What browser_get_html does on Scrapeless

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

Why browser_get_html needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries data (HTML source code) from the currently-loaded browser page with no side effects—no data is modified, deleted, or executed. It is a pure read operation analogous to fetching or querying information. The low severity reflects that HTML retrieval alone poses minimal risk unless the agent misuses the extracted data elsewhere.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'browser_get_html' and description states it 'Get the full HTML of the current page' and 'Returns the entire raw HTML source code.' The valid use case explicitly mentions parsing page structure without modification.
