AI agents call get_design_system_configuration to retrieve information from Sdds 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 design system metadata (configuration, typography, colors, spacing documentation). It performs no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code, and does not delete or move resources.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description both indicate retrieval: 'get_design_system_configuration' with 'retrieves the combined...design system configuration'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
This tool retrieves the combined ${libraryName} design system configuration, including typography, colors, and spacing documentation. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sdds MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sdds MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_design_system_configuration: 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 Sdds. Nothing to install.
get_design_system_configuration 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_design_system_configuration 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_design_system_configuration. 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_design_system_configuration is provided by the Sdds MCP server (@salutejs/sdds-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
