WHAT IT DOES

What browser_get_html does on LocalAnt

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

RISK

Why browser_get_html is rated Low

This tool retrieves page HTML content for inspection. It is a read-only operation that does not modify state, execute code, delete data, or move money. The only minor consideration is that viewing page HTML could expose sensitive information if a page contains credentials or secrets, but the tool itself performs no destructive or dangerous action.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'browser_get_html' and description 'Get the current page HTML' indicate retrieval of page source code with no modification or side effects.
