Medium Risk

Why sdd_generate_all_docs needs a policy

This tool creates and writes documentation artifacts in parallel, which is a Write-category operation (creates/modifies data reversibly). Severity is medium because incorrect documentation generation could mislead developers or cause implementation errors, but the outputs are typically reviewable and correctable before deployment.

From the tool's definition Tool generates multiple documentation artifacts ('full docs, API docs, runbook, onboarding guide, and SDD journey') which are created/modified outputs.

How to control sdd_generate_all_docs

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "sdd_generate_all_docs": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "sdd_generate_all_docs_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

sdd_generate_all_docs stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Specky — 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.
