What create_design_system does on Mcp
AI agents use create_design_system to create or update resources in Mcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp environment.

Why create_design_system is rated Medium
This tool creates and modifies design system configuration data (colors, fonts, shapes, themes) which constitutes reversible data creation/modification. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, move money, or query existing data without side effects. The blast radius is limited to design/UI configuration changes that can be undone or modified later.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Creates a new design system' and 'establishes the foundational design tokens that apply across all screens in the project.' The operations described (configuring color palette, typography, shape, appearance, and design…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_design_system safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_design_system, this is the rule to start with:
create_design_system stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp, apply this rule, and every create_design_system call is checked against it from then on.

create_design_system is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_design_system 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.
