What debug_function does on Webcake Storefront
AI agents invoke debug_function to trigger actions in Webcake Storefront. 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 debug_function is rated High
This tool allows execution of arbitrary JavaScript code, making it an Execute-category risk. While it operates in 'debug mode' without deploying, it still runs code and returns results, which could be leveraged to access sensitive data, enumerate the system, or probe for vulnerabilities.
From the tool's definition The tool explicitly states it will 'Run JS code in debug mode' and 'Returns execution result and console logs'. This permits arbitrary JavaScript execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs debug_function safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Webcake Storefront, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For debug_function, this is the rule to start with:
debug_function 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Webcake Storefront, apply this rule, and every debug_function call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about debug_function
Run JS code in debug mode (without deploying). Returns execution result and console logs. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Webcake Storefront MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Webcake Storefront MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for debug_function: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Webcake Storefront. Nothing to install.
debug_function is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the debug_function rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for debug_function. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
debug_function is provided by the Webcake Storefront MCP server (webcake-storefront-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
