browser_network_request

Read-only

Retrieve the complete headers and body of a specific network request by its index number. Optionally, return only the request or response parts.

Instructions

Returns full details (headers and body) of a single network request, or a single part if part is set. Use the number from browser_network_requests.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
indexYes1-based index of the request, as printed by browser_network_requests.
partNoReturn only this part of the request. Omit to return full details.
filenameNoFilename to save the result to. If not provided, output is returned as text.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and destructiveHint. Description adds what is returned (headers and body). No contradictions. Adequate beyond annotations.

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?

Two sentences, no fluff, front-loaded with purpose then usage instruction. Every sentence is essential.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With no output schema and simple params, description covers key behavioral aspects. Could mention filename saving behavior, but schema covers it.

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 has 100% description coverage. Description adds context for index (source) and part (optional), but no added value for filename. Baseline 3.

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 clearly states it returns full details (headers and body) of a single network request, optionally a part. It distinguishes from sibling browser_network_requests by referencing its output.

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?

Explicitly directs to use the number from browser_network_requests, providing clear context. Does not list alternatives or when not to use, but purpose is narrow enough.

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