browser_network_request

Read-only

Retrieve full details of a specific network request using its index, or isolate just the request headers, request body, response headers, or response body.

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
partNoReturn only this part of the request. Omit to return full details.
indexYes1-based index of the request, as printed by browser_network_requests.
filenameNoFilename to save the result to. If not provided, output is returned as text.
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnly=true; description adds behavioral detail about optional part retrieval and file saving, but no further side effects are disclosed. Adequate but not exceptional.

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 concise sentences, front-loaded with action and resource, no fluff.

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?

Covers key usage (index, part, filename) and relationship to sibling. Missing explicit return format details, but acceptable given no output schema.

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

Parameters4/5

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

100% schema coverage, description adds usage context: index from sibling, part enumeration, optional filename. Adds value beyond schema descriptions.

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?

Description clearly states 'Returns full details of a single network request' with verb and resource, and distinguishes from sibling by referencing the number from browser_network_requests.

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?

Provides clear context that the index comes from browser_network_requests, implying sequential usage. Does not explicitly state when not to use, but alternatives are differentiated.

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