List all available Design System components in the project. Returns component names, folder structures, import paths, implementation files, documentation files, and stories files.
AI agents call list-ds-components to retrieve information from Angular Toolkit MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only queries and returns metadata about existing Design System components in the project. It performs no write operations, does not execute code, and has no side effects. It is a straightforward read/retrieval operation typical of project analysis tools. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could at worst list components it shouldn't know about, but cannot modify or delete them.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list-ds-components' and description explicitly state it 'List all available Design System components' and 'Returns component names, folder structures, import paths, implementation files, documentation files, and stories files.' The verb 'List' and…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all available Design System components in the project. Returns component names, folder structures, import paths, implementation files, documentation files, and stories files. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Angular Toolkit MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Angular Toolkit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list-ds-components: 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 Angular Toolkit MCP. Nothing to install.
list-ds-components 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 list-ds-components 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 list-ds-components. 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.
list-ds-components is provided by the Angular Toolkit MCP server (push-based/angular-toolkit-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
