What evaluate_script does on ReverseCraft DevTools MCP

AI agents invoke evaluate_script to trigger actions in ReverseCraft DevTools MCP. 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.

Why evaluate_script needs a policy

This tool executes arbitrary JavaScript in the context of a browser page. An AI agent could use it to run any code — exfiltrate data, manipulate the DOM, steal credentials, perform actions on behalf of the user, or interact with any APIs accessible from the page context. The blast radius is critical because arbitrary code execution in a browser page has no inherent scope limitations.

How to control evaluate_script

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "evaluate_script": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "evaluate_script_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

evaluate_script 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.

  1. Create a free account and register ReverseCraft DevTools 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.
