Why project_scaffold needs a policy

This tool creates new files and initializes a project structure, which is a reversible write operation. While it establishes new resources, these files can be edited or deleted by the user. It does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a minimal web XR app structure' including index.html, main.js, and styles.css files. The verb 'Create' and explicit file creation action indicates data generation and modification.

How to control project_scaffold

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and 8th Wall MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for project_scaffold:

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

project_scaffold 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.

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
