Why generate_design_tokens needs a policy

This tool generates design system data (tokens) which constitutes creating new design assets. This is a Write operation because the tokens are created/generated and can be modified or removed without permanent consequences. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete irreversibly, modify live systems, or process financial data.

From the tool's definition The tool 'generate_design_tokens' with description 'Generate a comprehensive design token system' creates design artifacts (tokens) that define UI styling and theming.

How to control generate_design_tokens

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

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

generate_design_tokens 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.
