You need to put quotes around the code to be evaluated if you're going
to try that from a command line. Try this (condensed into separate
lines to prevent email wraparound):

on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo
    local dbText
    
    put "var c=db.test.find();" into dbText
    put " while(c.hasNext())" after dbText
    put " printjson(c.next())" after dbText
    
    put shell("mongo --eval" && quote & dbText & quote) into field "A"
end mouseUp
