WHAT IT DOES

What set-network-throttling does on Debugger MCP Server

AI agents invoke set-network-throttling to trigger actions in Debugger MCP Server. 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.
