Returns full details for a single design token by name, including raw value, category, group, and any documented notes.
AI agents call get_token to retrieve information from Grocers Design without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves design system metadata (tokens, values, categories, groups, notes) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational and cannot cause any system changes or side effects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access design token information already exposed by the design system.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_token' and description 'Returns full details for a single design token' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Returns' and the read-only nature of querying design token metadata confirm this is a data retrieval action.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Returns full details for a single design token by name, including raw value, category, group, and any documented notes. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Grocers Design MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Grocers Design MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_token: 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 Grocers Design. Nothing to install.
get_token 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_token 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_token. 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_token is provided by the Grocers Design MCP server (rogerio-ignacio-filho/grocers-design-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
