WHAT IT DOES

What generate_collateral_kit does on AI-Canvas MCP Server

AI agents use generate_collateral_kit to create or update resources in AI-Canvas MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AI-Canvas MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why generate_collateral_kit needs a policy

This tool creates new design collateral items as output, which constitutes data creation (Write category). The severity is medium rather than high because: (1) collateral generation is reversible (outputs can be deleted/discarded), (2) it does not execute arbitrary code or delete data, and (3) misuse would produce unwanted design assets rather than financial loss or system compromise.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Generate a full kit of brand collateral items' — indicates creation of new design assets/documents. Sibling tools like 'create_checkpoint' and 'create_mockup' also perform generative/creation operations on this design-focused server.
