Why superdesign_iterate needs a policy

This tool retrieves and processes existing design data to generate instructional output. The verb 'returns' and the nature of providing 'iteration instructions' (advisory information derived from inputs) characterize this as a read operation with no side effects. It does not modify designs, execute code, delete content, or transfer funds.

From the tool's definition Tool 'superdesign_iterate' with description 'Returns iteration instructions based on existing design and feedback' performs a query operation that generates guidance without modifying, deleting, or executing external code.

POLICY

How to control superdesign_iterate

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "superdesign_iterate": {}
  }
}

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

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