I found this snake outside my home in Lahore, Pakistan. The snake was eating a frog when we saw it. What is the name of this snake and how harmful it is?

It could be a common krait, which is poisonous, but not aggressive.
There appears to be two very similar snakes - one is the Common Krait and the other is the Wolf Snake.
The Common Krait is a venomous snake and is most active at night (hunting for food). Here is what the Pakistan web site stated:
Of the Big Four dangerous snakes found in India, the Common Krait is the most venomous. Its venom a powerful neurotoxin is supposed to be fifteen times more virulent than that of the Common Cobra, making it probably the most venomous snake in Asia and earning it a rank among the deadliest snakes of our planet!
Here is a link about the Common Krait:
Here is a link that explains the difference in the Common Krait and the Wolf Snake so maybe you can determine which snake you found:
