generate-docs

Generate documentation in various formats (markdown, comments, API docs, README). Simplified zen-inspired tool for documentation creation.

How to control generate-docs ↓

AI agents use generate-docs to create or update resources in Ultra MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ultra MCP environment.

Medium Risk

This tool creates or modifies documentation files and content. While it produces new data, the operation is completely reversible (documentation can be edited, deleted, or regenerated). There is no code execution, data deletion, financial impact, or destructive action.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'generate-docs' and description 'Generate documentation in various formats (markdown, comments, API docs, README)' indicates creation of documentation content. The verb 'Generate' and explicit mention of output formats confirm write operations.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access generate-docs gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate-docs": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "generate-docs_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

generate-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 Ultra MCP — 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.

What does the generate-docs tool do? +

Generate documentation in various formats (markdown, comments, API docs, README). Simplified zen-inspired tool for documentation creation. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ultra MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on generate-docs? +

Register the Ultra MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate-docs: 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 Ultra MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is generate-docs? +

generate-docs is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit generate-docs? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the generate-docs 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.

How do I block generate-docs completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for generate-docs. 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.

What MCP server provides generate-docs? +

generate-docs is provided by the Ultra MCP server (realmikechong/ultra-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Ultra MCP tool call.
