WHAT IT DOES

What wait_for_request does on Js Reverse

AI agents invoke wait_for_request 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.

RISK

Why wait_for_request is rated High

This tool blocks/waits for network requests, which is an active control operation over browser behavior. It's more than passive data retrieval (Read) because it actively pauses execution and interacts with browser state. It doesn't modify data (Write), delete anything (Destructive), or involve finances (Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool uses Chrome DevTools Protocol to "block until a network request matching the filters is observed" - this actively monitors and pauses execution based on network events, which is an interactive browser control operation that can trigger side effects…

wait_for_request Rate-limited

wait_for_request stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
