Use requestClientHints together with the permissions_policy behavior.

Option Type Description Requires

Option	Type	Description
`accept_ch`	string array	The client hint data objects you want to receive from the browser. You can add custom entries or provide pre-set values from the list. For more details on each value, see the guide section for this behavior. If you've configured your origin server to pass along data objects, they merge with the ones you set in this array, before the list is sent to the client.
