evaluate_javascript · AutoProbe MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What evaluate_javascript does on AutoProbeMCP

AI agents invoke evaluate_javascript to trigger actions in AutoProbeMCP. 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 IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why evaluate_javascript needs a policy

evaluate_javascript triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once — it starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

Verdict

evaluate_javascript Rate-limited

evaluate_javascript 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.
