Get network request logs including requests and responses. Useful for debugging API calls and network issues.
AI agents call get_network_logs to retrieve information from Chrome DevTools MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Even though get_network_logs only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get network request logs including requests and responses. Useful for debugging API calls and network issues. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Chrome DevTools MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Chrome DevTools MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_network_logs: 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 Chrome DevTools MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_network_logs 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 get_network_logs 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 get_network_logs. 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.
get_network_logs is provided by the Chrome DevTools MCP Server MCP server (xrealsys/chrome-devtool-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
