Provides core design tokens (colors, typography, spacing) from the Mesh Design System
AI agents call get_design_tokens to retrieve information from Mesh Design System MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves static design configuration data (colors, typography, spacing values) from the Mesh Design System without any capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. It is purely informational and poses minimal security risk. Classification as Read is appropriate for a data-retrieval tool with no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Provides core design tokens (colors, typography, spacing)' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects. The verb 'Provides' indicates read-only access to design system data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Provides core design tokens (colors, typography, spacing) from the Mesh Design System. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mesh Design System MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mesh Design System MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_design_tokens: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Mesh Design System MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_design_tokens is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_design_tokens rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_design_tokens. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_design_tokens is provided by the Mesh Design System MCP Server MCP server (lukeylias/meshmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
