Gets information about the current paused state including call stack, current location, and scope variables. Use this after a breakpoint is hit to understand the execution context.
AI agents call get_paused_info to retrieve information from JS Reverse MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read operation that retrieves runtime debugging information (call stack, location, variables) from a paused JavaScript execution context. It has no side effects—it only queries and returns state information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_paused_info' and description explicitly states it 'Gets information about the current paused state including call stack, current location, and scope variables.' The verb 'Gets' and the read-only nature of inspecting debugger state without…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Gets information about the current paused state including call stack, current location, and scope variables. Use this after a breakpoint is hit to understand the execution context. It is categorised as a Read tool in the JS Reverse MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the JS Reverse MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_paused_info: 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 JS Reverse MCP. Nothing to install.
get_paused_info is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_paused_info 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 get_paused_info. 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.
get_paused_info is provided by the JS Reverse MCP server (zhizhuodemao/js-reverse-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
