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

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

## Why step_into is rated High

This tool controls browser execution via Chrome DevTools Protocol, advancing the debugger into function calls. It triggers external browser operations (debugger step actions) whose effects depend on the current execution state. It's an Execute-category action as it drives code execution flow in a live browser context.

From the tool's own definition: "Steps into the next function call. Use this to enter and debug function bodies."

## Use case

AI agents invoke step_into 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": {
    "step_into": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "step_into_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
