Why get_performance_metrics needs a policy

This tool queries performance data from the browser's Performance API, which is a passive observation capability. It retrieves metrics (timing, navigation, resource durations, etc.) without triggering code execution, modifying state, or causing side effects. This is a classic Read operation: it gathers information for analysis in the context of reverse engineering workflows without altering the target environment.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] page performance metrics from Performance API' — a retrieval operation with no modification, execution, or deletion of data. The Performance API provides read-only access to browser timing and performance data.

How to control get_performance_metrics

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and JS Reverse Strong MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_performance_metrics:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_performance_metrics": {}
  }
}

get_performance_metrics is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register JS Reverse Strong MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
