WHAT IT DOES

What generate_report does on Mcp Ux Vision

AI agents use generate_report to create or update resources in Mcp Ux Vision — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Ux Vision environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why generate_report needs a policy

The tool creates new files and directories to persist analysis reports—a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or cause financial impact. While it involves analysis, the actual output is file creation/writing, placing it in the Write category with low severity since the side effects are limited to non-critical report generation in isolated subdirectories.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it generates and writes a 'comprehensive UI/UX analysis report' in 'a unique subdirectory', indicating file creation and storage of analysis outputs.
