Why get_component_meta needs a policy

The tool retrieves metadata about UI components from a remote source with no side effects. It is a read-only operation that queries data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. This aligns with the 'Read' category for retrieval operations.

From the tool's definition Tool fetches remote HTML metadata from ui-layouts.com; description indicates retrieval only via GET-like HTTP calls to https://ui-layouts.com/<pathPrefix>/<registry.href>. No modification, deletion, or execution described.

How to control get_component_meta

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_component_meta": {}
  }
}

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

  1. Create a free account and register Ui Layouts — 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.
