install_component

Generates installation commands for Starwind UI components

How to control install_component ↓

AI agents use install_component to create or update resources in Starwind UI MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Starwind UI MCP Server environment.

Medium Risk

An AI agent can call install_component faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Starwind UI MCP Server by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access install_component gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "install_component": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "install_component_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

install_component 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.

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

What does the install_component tool do? +

Generates installation commands for Starwind UI components. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Starwind UI 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 install_component? +

Register the Starwind UI MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for install_component: 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 Starwind UI MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is install_component? +

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

Can I rate-limit install_component? +

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

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

install_component is provided by the Starwind UI MCP Server MCP server (starwind-ui/starwind-ui-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Starwind UI MCP Server tool call.
