scout_network

List a page's fetch and XHR requests since load—method, path, status, and time—to distinguish failed, pending, and never-run calls when UI data and server responses disagree. Read-only.

Instructions

List the data requests (fetch and XHR) the current page made since its document loaded: method, path, status and time, oldest first, each marked with the route it was sent from when a client-side route change moved the page since. Use it when the page and the server seem to disagree — an empty list where the API has data, a stale value after a save — to tell a request that failed, one still pending and one that never ran apart. Read-only: it lists what the browser already saw and sends nothing. Credentials in query strings are redacted. A full page load starts a new list; scout_request's own calls are marked.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoHow many of the newest to list. Default 40.
sessionNoTarget this session directly instead of the active one — pass it explicitly when dispatching to MULTIPLE sessions in one turn (e.g. two scout_click calls with different `session`), which then run CONCURRENTLY rather than queueing. Omit for single-session sequential use.
containsNoOnly requests whose path contains this text, e.g. /api/things

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and does so well: it states read-only behavior, explains that it sends nothing, notes credential redaction in query strings, clarifies that a full page load resets the list, and marks scout_request's own calls.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is front-loaded with the core purpose and then adds usage and safety context in a tight paragraph. Every clause carries useful information, with no redundant restatement of the schema.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the absence of annotations and output schema, the description provides enough detail to call the tool correctly: it describes the return fields, ordering, route marking, redaction, session-reset behavior, and diagnostic use cases.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents limit, session, and contains in detail. The description adds no parameter-specific guidance beyond the schema, which is the baseline expectation when coverage is complete.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names a specific resource and scope: data requests (fetch and XHR) made by the current page since document load, including method, path, status, time, and route origin. It also differentiates this from sibling scout_request by noting that scout_request's own calls are marked.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives clear diagnostic scenarios: when the page and server disagree, such as an empty list where the API has data or a stale value after save, and explains that it distinguishes failed, pending, and never-run requests. It stops short of naming when not to use it or explicitly pointing to an alternative tool beyond the scout_request marking note.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
