List captured network request metadata from CDP Network events. Returns metadata such as URL, method, headers, status, mime type, timing/status fields, and encoded data length; response bodies are not included.
AI agents call list_network_requests to retrieve information from BrowserPilot MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves network event data from the browser's CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is purely observational. Even though network metadata could theoretically include sensitive information like URLs or headers, the tool itself performs only a read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool 'list_network_requests' returns 'captured network request metadata' including 'URL, method, headers, status, mime type, timing/status fields, and encoded data length'; explicitly states 'response bodies are not included.' This is a retrieval operation…

List captured network request metadata from CDP Network events. Returns metadata such as URL, method, headers, status, mime type, timing/status fields, and encoded data length; response bodies are not included. It is categorised as a Read tool in the BrowserPilot MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the BrowserPilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_network_requests: 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 BrowserPilot MCP. Nothing to install.
list_network_requests 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 list_network_requests 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 list_network_requests. 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.
list_network_requests is provided by the BrowserPilot MCP server (sept-7-qi/browserpilot-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
