What create_app does on Webcomponents React

AI agents call create_app to retrieve information from Webcomponents React without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
appName string Yes Name for the new application directory
template string Yes Template to use. Available: nextjs-app, nextjs-pages, vite-ts

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Why create_app needs a policy

The tool retrieves scaffolding/setup instructions rather than executing them. The description explicitly states it returns instructions ('Call this tool to get the template setup instructions, then execute them'), meaning actual execution is a separate step. No files are created, no commands are run — it is purely informational/documentation retrieval.

How to control create_app

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_app": {}
  }
}

create_app is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Webcomponents React — 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.
