## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "set_network_conditions",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why set_network_conditions is rated High

This tool actively modifies the browser's network behavior by simulating conditions like offline mode, throttling, and latency. It triggers external operational changes in the browser environment via Chrome DevTools Protocol. Misuse could disrupt network connectivity or testing environments, but effects are reversible (can be reset), placing it in Execute rather than Destructive.

From the tool's own definition: "Emulates network conditions (offline, throttling, latency)"

## Use case

AI agents invoke set_network_conditions to trigger actions in Js Reverse. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Js Reverse:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "set_network_conditions": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "set_network_conditions_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
