Returns the last 25 network requests with method, status, type, and URL.
AI agents call network_requests to retrieve information from Brave Browser MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves and reports already-captured network request data (method, status, type, URL). It has no side effects — it does not modify, execute, or delete anything. The only risk is information disclosure (e.g., leaking URLs or tokens visible in network traffic), which is low severity.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Returns the last 25 network requests with method, status, type, and URL. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Brave Browser MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Brave Browser MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for 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 Brave Browser MCP Server. Nothing to install.
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 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 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.
network_requests is provided by the Brave Browser MCP Server MCP server (slaveofgod1/brave-browser-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
