THE RISK

Low Risk

Why superdesign_list needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only operation that enumerates designs in a workspace. There are no side effects, no data modification, no code execution, and no destructive actions. Listing existing designs is a standard retrieval operation with minimal security risk even if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List all created designs in the workspace', which explicitly retrieves/queries existing data without modification.

POLICY

How to control superdesign_list

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_list:

policy.json

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

superdesign_list 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.
