What get_theme does on Shadcn Ui

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

Why get_theme needs a policy

This tool retrieves theme configuration details from a shadcn UI component library. It performs a read-only query operation with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or destructive capability. The low severity reflects minimal risk from misuse—an AI agent could at worst retrieve unintended theme information, but cannot alter systems or cause harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_theme' and description 'Get details of a specific shadcn theme' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and the context of a UI documentation/component server show this tool queries and returns theme information without modifying state.

How to control get_theme

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

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

get_theme 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 Shadcn Ui — 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.
