Network Request Auditing

\n

Deep-dive network health using the cursor-ide-browser MCP. This skill focuses on browser_network_requests — not just “any 500s” but patterns that indicate bugs, waste, or security issues.

\n

How it works

\n
    \n
  1. Drive the app in the browser (navigate, click, submit forms) so real requests fire.
    2. \n
  2. Call browser_network_requests after meaningful interactions (and after navigation settles).
    3. \n
  3. Classify and report findings using the criteria below.
    4. \n
\n

Follow cursor-ide-browser workflow rules: use browser_snapshot before structural interactions; after actions that change the page, take a fresh snapshot before the next interaction.

Steps

\n
    \n

  1. Start from a clean navigation — browser_navigate to the target URL (or use an existing tab via browser_tabs).

    \n
    2. \n

  2. Exercise the feature — interactions that trigger API usage (filters, infinite scroll, form save, modal open).

    \n
    3. \n

  3. Fetch network log — browser_network_requests after each logical step if the page does multiple round-trips.

    \n
    4. \n

  4. Report — structured output:
