What get_docs does on Ui Layouts

AI agents call get_docs to retrieve information from Ui Layouts without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_docs needs a policy

This tool retrieves and returns documentation in various formats (HTML, plain text, snippets) from ui-layouts.com. It is a pure data retrieval operation with no side effects, matching the 'Read' category definition. The severity is low because fetching documentation poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent — it cannot modify data, execute code, delete resources, or commit financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Fetch docs HTML for a component' and 'return as raw_html, plain text, or a main-section snippet' — retrieval operations with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

How to control get_docs

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_docs:

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

get_docs 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.
