What searchBlocks does on Shadcn Space MCP

AI agents call searchBlocks to retrieve information from Shadcn Space MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why searchBlocks needs a policy

This tool retrieves and filters existing block components based on search criteria. It is a read-only operation analogous to search or list functions. Even in a misuse scenario, an AI agent could only retrieve information about available UI components, with no ability to modify, delete, install, or execute code. The blast radius is minimal.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'searchBlocks' and description states 'Search Shadcn Space blocks using keywords or tags' — a pure query operation with no side effects. No data creation, modification, deletion, or external execution occurs.
