WHAT IT DOES

What generate_tailwind_config does on AI-Canvas MCP Server

AI agents use generate_tailwind_config 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_tailwind_config needs a policy

This tool creates/generates a new Tailwind CSS configuration file as output, which is reversible and non-destructive. It modifies the design artifact landscape by producing new code configuration. While it executes generation logic, the primary effect is Write (creation of configuration data) rather than Execute (running arbitrary code with side effects).

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Generate a Tailwind CSS configuration' — this creates or synthesizes a configuration artifact based on design tokens. The word 'Generate' indicates creation of new output rather than retrieval.
