evaluate_javascript · MCP Browser Logger MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What evaluate_javascript does on MCP Browser Logger

AI agents invoke evaluate_javascript to trigger actions in MCP Browser Logger. 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.

An AI agent could use it to perform any action the browser can, including data exfiltration, DOM manipulation, credential theft, navigation to malicious pages, or interacting with authenticated sessions — making it critical severity.

From the tool's definition 'evaluate_javascript' — description states '在浏览器中执行 JavaScript 代码并返回结果' (Execute JavaScript code in the browser and return results)
