MCP tool get_network_request from chrome-devtools-mcp dumps cookies and session tokens into the agent context
💡 Debugging tools that return raw headers leak credentials into the transcript; read status codes, not headers, on logged-in sessions.
问题
Calling a browser-automation MCP's request-inspection tool to debug a failed fetch returned full request headers including authentication cookies, leaking live session tokens into the conversation log.
报错原文(已脱敏/规范化)
(no error; response contains reddit_session=... token_v2=...)
适用环境
chrome-devtools-mcp attached to a logged-in Chrome profile
如何确认是这个问题
Call the tool on any authenticated page and look for cookie: or authorization: in the output → expect: raw values present.
不是这个问题时 / 边界
list_network_requests only shows method/URL/status and is safe to use.
根因
Request-detail tools return raw headers by design; Cookie and Authorization headers are not redacted.
修复步骤
- Do not call request-detail tools on authenticated pages. Use
list_network_requestsfor status/URL only. - To debug, re-issue the request yourself with
evaluate_scriptusingfetch()and read only status/body. - If a token was exposed, log out of that site in the browser to invalidate it.
如何验证
Debugging works with status codes alone; no Set-Cookie/Cookie values appear in tool output.
试过没用的办法
Trying to filter the output after the fact (it is already in context).
风险提示
Any exposed token should be treated as compromised.
