MCP Tool Reference High Risk

evaluate_script

Execute JavaScript

Part of the Chrome DevTools MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents invoke evaluate_script to trigger processes or run actions in Chrome DevTools. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call — triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON EVALUATE_SCRIPT

evaluate_script can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

RECOMMENDED POLICY

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

chrome-devtools.yaml
tools:
  evaluate_script:
    rules:
      - action: allow
        rate_limit:
          max: 10
          window: 60
        validate:
          required_args: true

How do I enforce a policy on evaluate_script?

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for evaluate_script. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Chrome DevTools MCP server.

What risk level is evaluate_script?

evaluate_script is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit evaluate_script?

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the evaluate_script rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block evaluate_script completely?

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for evaluate_script. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides evaluate_script?

evaluate_script is provided by the Chrome DevTools MCP server (ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
