+        elements, and extracting arbitrary text and hyperlinks from webpages.
+
+        Specifically, by default this toolkit allows navigating to:

+        - Any URL (including any internal network URLs)
+        - And local files
+
+        If exposing to end-users, consider limiting network access to the

+        to create a custom NavigationTool wht an args_schema that limits the URLs
+        that can be navigated to (e.g., only allow navigating to URLs that
+        start with a particular prefix).
+
+        Remember to scope permissions to the minimal permissions necessary for
+        the application. If the default tool selection is not appropriate for
+        the application, consider creating a custom toolkit with the appropriate
+        tools.
