What thecolorapi_scheme does on UnClick
AI agents call thecolorapi_scheme 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 | Seed hex color (e.g. FF5733). |
mode | string | — | Scheme mode: monochrome, analogic, complement, triad, quad (default: analogic). |
count | number | — | Number of colors (default 5, max 10). |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why thecolorapi_scheme is rated Low
This is a read-only tool that generates and returns color scheme data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. It takes a hex color as input and returns computed color scheme information. This is equivalent to a data retrieval/query operation with no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'thecolorapi_scheme' and description 'Generate a color scheme from a seed hex color' indicate a query-based operation that retrieves or computes color data based on input parameters. No modification, deletion, or side effects are described.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs thecolorapi_scheme 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_scheme, this is the rule to start with:
thecolorapi_scheme 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_scheme call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about thecolorapi_scheme
Generate a color scheme from a seed hex color. It is categorised as a Read tool in the UnClick MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
thecolorapi_scheme accepts 3 parameters: hex, mode, count. Required: hex. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the UnClick MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for thecolorapi_scheme: 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 UnClick. Nothing to install.
thecolorapi_scheme is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the thecolorapi_scheme 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 thecolorapi_scheme. 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.
thecolorapi_scheme is provided by the UnClick MCP server (@unclick/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
