What save_network_request does on ReverseCraft DevTools MCP

AI agents use save_network_request to create or update resources in ReverseCraft DevTools MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ReverseCraft DevTools MCP environment.

Why save_network_request needs a policy

The tool writes data (HTTP requests/responses) to disk. While it does not delete or irreversibly modify existing data, and does not execute arbitrary code or move money, it does create or persist data locally. This is a Write operation.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Save a network request and response to a local file' - this creates/writes data to the filesystem in raw HTTP format.

How to control save_network_request

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 save_network_request:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "save_network_request": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "save_network_request_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

save_network_request stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes 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.
