THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why create_vite_app needs a policy

This tool creates new artifacts (a Vite app with Searchcraft integration) as a side effect of its execution. Creation of files and code generation is a Write operation—it modifies the system state by adding new resources, but these changes are reversible (the app can be deleted or modified). It does not execute arbitrary external operations (Execute), destroy existing data (Destructive), or move money (Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Creates a generic search app' and 'generating a Vite app', which are reversible creation operations. The tool writes/generates code and app files based on JSON input analysis.

POLICY

How to control create_vite_app

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_vite_app": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_vite_app_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_vite_app 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.

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

FAQ

Questions about create_vite_app

What does the create_vite_app tool do? +

Creates a generic search app by analyzing a JSON dataset and generating a Vite app with Searchcraft integration. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Searchcraft MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_vite_app? +

Register the Searchcraft MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_vite_app: 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 Searchcraft MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_vite_app? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_vite_app? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_vite_app 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 create_vite_app completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_vite_app. 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 create_vite_app? +

create_vite_app is provided by the Searchcraft MCP Server MCP server (searchcraft-inc/searchcraft-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Searchcraft MCP Server tool call.

Start from Searchcraft MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
