Why get_migration_guide needs a policy

This tool performs documentation retrieval and comparison to provide guidance to developers. It does not execute scripts, modify user code, delete data, or trigger external operations. While it assists with migration tasks, the actual execution of migrations remains the developer's responsibility.

From the tool's definition Tool returns migration guidance by comparing documentation; uses verbs 'Returns' and 'comparing' indicating data retrieval with no modification or execution of code against user systems.

POLICY

How to control get_migration_guide

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_migration_guide": {}
  }
}

get_migration_guide is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register HeroUI Migration MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
