Get detailed information about a specific shadcn/ui component
AI agents call get_component_details to retrieve information from shadcn-ui MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only operation that retrieves and returns component documentation and reference data. There are no modifications to any system, no code execution, no deletions, and no financial implications. The tool simply provides reference information to help AI assistants understand shadcn/ui components.
From the tool's definition Tool provides 'detailed information about a specific shadcn/ui component' with sibling tools named 'get_component_examples', 'list_shadcn_components', and 'search_components'—all retrieval operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access

Register the shadcn-ui MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_component_details: 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 shadcn-ui MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_component_details is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_component_details 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_component_details. 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.
get_component_details is provided by the shadcn-ui MCP Server MCP server (totodev999/shadcn-ui-mcp-server_clone). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
