What proxy_export_har does on Proxy

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

Why proxy_export_har needs a policy

This tool reads and exports previously captured network traffic data into HAR format. It does not modify, delete, or execute anything — it retrieves recorded session data. However, severity is medium because HAR files can contain sensitive information like cookies, authorization headers, and request/response bodies captured by the MITM proxy.

How to control proxy_export_har

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "proxy_export_har": {}
  }
}

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

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