Why list_components needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries documentation about available React components—a read-only operation with no side effects. It returns filtered lists of component metadata (names, descriptions, categories, import statements) to help developers discover components. There is no capability to modify, execute, or delete anything.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Browse[s] all 209 available UI5 Web Components' and 'Returns all matching components at once'. The WHEN TO USE section emphasizes discovery and verification: 'find the right component for a use case, or verify a component name'.

How to control list_components

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 list_components:

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

list_components 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.
