What generate_screen_from_text does on Mcp
AI agents use generate_screen_from_text 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
prompt | string | Yes | Required. The input text to generate the screen from. |
modelId | string | — | Optional. The model to use for generation. |
projectId | string | Yes | Required. The project ID to generate the screen for, example: '4044680601076201931', without the `projects/` prefix. |
deviceType | string | — | The type of device that captured the screenshot, e.g., mobile or desktop. |
designSystem | string | — | Optional. The design system id to use for generating the new screen, should always be configured for design consistency, via `get_project` or `list_assets` meth |

Why generate_screen_from_text is rated Medium
An AI agent can call generate_screen_from_text faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Mcp by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs generate_screen_from_text 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 generate_screen_from_text, this is the rule to start with:
generate_screen_from_text 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 generate_screen_from_text call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about generate_screen_from_text
Generates a new screen within a project from a text prompt. Instructions for Tool Call: * This action can take a few minutes to complete. Please be patient. DO NOT RETRY. * If the tool fails with a timeout, don't retry. Instead, try to get the screen with get_screen method every 30 seconds for up to 10 times before giving up. * If the tool call fails due to connection error, the generation process may still succeed. Please try to get the screen with get_screen method later. Output: * output_components: If output_components contains text, return it to the user. If output_components contains suggestions (e.g. "Yes, make them all"), present these suggestions to the user. If the user accepts one of the suggestions, call generate_screen_from_text again with prompt set to the accepted suggestion. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
generate_screen_from_text accepts 5 parameters: prompt, modelId, projectId, deviceType, designSystem. Required: prompt, projectId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_screen_from_text: 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 Mcp. Nothing to install.
generate_screen_from_text 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 generate_screen_from_text 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 generate_screen_from_text. 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.
generate_screen_from_text is provided by the MCP server (https://stitch.googleapis.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
