What vite-build does on Lint

AI agents invoke vite-build to trigger actions in Lint. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

Why vite-build needs a policy

This tool executes external code and processes (Vite build pipeline) whose side effects depend on project configuration and plugin arguments. While not immediately destructive on its own, builds can trigger arbitrary plugin execution, write files to disk, and consume system resources.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'vite-build' combined with description 'Runs Vite production build' indicates execution of a build process.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access vite-build gives an agent:

How to control vite-build

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Lint, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for vite-build:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "vite-build": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "vite-build_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

vite-build 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Lint — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about vite-build

What does the vite-build tool do? +

Runs Vite production build and returns structured output files with sizes. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Lint MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on vite-build? +

Register the Lint MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for vite-build: 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 Lint. Nothing to install.

What risk level is vite-build? +

vite-build is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit vite-build? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the vite-build 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.

How do I block vite-build completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for vite-build. 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.

What MCP server provides vite-build? +

vite-build is provided by the Lint MCP server (Dave-London/Pare). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Lint tool call.

Start from Lint, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
