What thecolorapi_id does on UnClick
AI agents call thecolorapi_id to retrieve information from UnClick without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
hex | string | Yes | Hex color code (e.g. FF5733 or #FF5733). |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why thecolorapi_id is rated Low
This is a pure data retrieval tool with no side effects. It accepts a color hex code and returns static color information from an API lookup. There is no capability to modify state, execute commands, delete data, or affect any system beyond reading from a color information database. The blast radius of misuse is negligible.
From the tool's definition Tool performs a lookup operation ('Get detailed color information') that retrieves and returns data about a color based on a hex input. The description explicitly lists read-only outputs: name, RGB, HSL, CMYK values.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs thecolorapi_id 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 thecolorapi_id, this is the rule to start with:
thecolorapi_id 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 thecolorapi_id call is checked against it from then on.
