What monitor_websocket does on Js Reverse
AI agents call monitor_websocket to retrieve information from Js Reverse without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why monitor_websocket is rated Low
WebSocket frame capture via CDP Network domain is a read-only debugging/inspection operation. It retrieves and observes network traffic data without executing code, modifying data, or causing side effects. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—captured frames are informational data about existing connections, not commands that trigger external state changes.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'capturing WebSocket frames' which is a monitoring/observation activity without modification.
