Why setup-static-content-deploy needs a policy

This tool triggers a deployment operation that runs Magento's static content deploy process, which compiles and publishes static assets (CSS, JS, images) to the web-accessible directory. This is an execution operation that runs system commands and modifies the filesystem, but is generally reversible by redeployment. Misuse could cause frontend outages or performance issues during deployment.

POLICY

How to control setup-static-content-deploy

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Magento 2 Development MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for setup-static-content-deploy:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "setup-static-content-deploy": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "setup-static-content-deploy_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

setup-static-content-deploy stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
