Why affinity_execute_command needs a policy

This tool runs external commands/automation in Affinity Designer whose effects depend entirely on the arguments passed. While not destructive by default, it can trigger complex workflows, modify documents, export files, or perform other side-effectual operations. An AI agent could abuse this to execute unintended design operations, export sensitive data, or cause uncontrolled document changes.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'affinity_execute_command' and description states 'Execute Affinity Designer automation command'. The verb 'Execute' combined with 'automation command' indicates arbitrary command execution within Affinity Designer.

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

How to control affinity_execute_command

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "affinity_execute_command": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "affinity_execute_command_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

affinity_execute_command stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register MCP Affinity Designer 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.
