May I ask why would you want to do that?

The only <meta/> that are not useless are only used at parse time (charset, viewport), and possibly by user agents that don't run JS (description, used by Google bots).

Google bot won't execute your JS, so injecting a <meta> from JS is useless. That's totally independent from GWT.
