Why color_palette is rated Low
This tool generates/derives color palette information based on provided input. It retrieves or computes data without modifying persistent state, making external API calls with side effects, executing arbitrary code, or performing destructive operations. The output is informational and deterministic based on the input color parameter.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'color_palette' and description 'Generate a color palette from a base color' indicate a read-only generation operation that takes input and returns computed output (color data). No side effects, no data modification, no external operations triggered.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs color_palette safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and UnClick, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For color_palette, this is the rule to start with:
color_palette is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect UnClick, apply this rule, and every color_palette call is checked against it from then on.
