Why list_hooks needs a policy

This tool queries the state of active hooks in a JavaScript debugging/reverse engineering environment without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is purely observational, consistent with the Read category (search, list, get, fetch). The blast radius is minimal—exposure allows an agent to observe what hooks exist, but cannot activate, deactivate, or trigger them.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_hooks' and description 'Lists all active function hooks' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no side effects. The verb 'lists' is a canonical Read operation.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_hooks gives an agent:

How to control list_hooks

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 list_hooks:

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

list_hooks 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.
