THE RISK

Why affinity_select_all needs a policy

This tool performs a selection operation, which is a UI state change (highlighting objects) but does not modify, create, delete, or move any data. Selection is a precursor to other operations but by itself has no destructive or persistent side effects. Severity is low since misuse only changes the active selection state.

From the tool's definition Select all objects in current layer / 現在のレイヤーの全オブジェクトを選択

POLICY

How to control affinity_select_all

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_select_all:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "affinity_select_all": {}
  }
}

affinity_select_all is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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