What new_page does on ReverseCraft DevTools MCP

AI agents invoke new_page 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.

High Risk

Why new_page needs a policy

Creating a new page is an Execute action because it initiates a browser operation whose side effects depend on context and subsequent agent actions. While not inherently destructive, it triggers external processes (browser page instantiation) and could be used in conjunction with other tools (click, evaluate_on_call_frame) to perform unintended automation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'new_page' with description 'Creates a new page' in the context of a browser automation server (ReverseCraft DevTools MCP).

How to control new_page

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 new_page:

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

new_page 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.
